Jalen Brunson led the team with 50 points, nine assists and five steals, Julius Randle added 23 points with eight rebounds and six assists on 10 of 16 shooting while RJ Barrett chipped in with 21 points. As a team, the Knicks shot a sizzling 59 percent from the field and 17 of 29 from the 3-point line as they allowed the Suns to get off to a flyer and trailed for most of the contest, before they exploded for 42 points in the fourth quarter to make it look easy in the end.

Knicks vs Clippers prediction

The Knicks are still shorthanded with Mitchell Robinson out, while the Clippers are keeping an eye on Paul George who is questionable for this one. The Clippers have emerged as one of the form teams in the league after beating the Warriors on Thursday, while the Knicks are coming into this game with some winning momentum and Brunson is coming fresh off a 50-point performance. This should be a close one and you can make an argument for either side, but looking at the spread, I think the Knicks are getting just enough points to get the cover on the road.
