The Phoenix Suns (35-42) visit the New York Knicks (48-28) on Sunday, April 6, 2025, at the Madison Square Garden.
This is the second time that the Suns and Knicks will battle each other. The first game ended in a Knicks' 138-122 victory, with Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns producing 36 and 34 points, respectively. With Brunson returning after a 14-game injury layoff, more trouble is coming the Suns' way.
Brunson, who is averaging team-highs 26.3 points and 7.4 assists, missed a significant portion of the season due to an ankle injury. He now returns to the Knicks' active lineup, solidifying the team's chances against the Suns. The Knicks still own the 5th-best offensive rating in the league (118.6), and Brunson's return could improve that even more.
Meanwhile, the Suns are on a five-game skid, having to deal with injured star Kevin Durant's injury. Defense has been a big problem for the Suns this season, as they're ranked 28th in the league in defensive rating (119.2). That won't change anytime soon, as they continue to tumble down the Western Conference standings.
Without Durant and with Brunson returning, keeping up with the Knicks will be a difficult ordeal for the Suns.
