ASA top play on 10* UNDER 215.5 Phoenix Suns @ NY Knicks, 7:40 PM ET - We have a pair of top six defensive teams going head-to-head tonight when the Knicks and Suns square off. New York has the 3rd best defensive efficiency numbers in the league at 1.083-points per possession while the Suns allow just 1.101PPP. The other key aspect of this wager is the pace of play numbers. New York is the slowest paced team in the NBA at 96 possessions per game, Phoenix is 7th at 97.2. We get two teams that want to play slow and play outstanding defense, yet the number set on this game is just 6-points lower than league average. The Knicks have the #1 ranked overall field goal percentage defense and the 3-point percentage D while the Suns check in at #10 in overall FG% D and are 5th in 3PT% defense. Phoenix is coming off a game yesterday against the Nets and have slightly favored the Under when playing without rest with a 6-8 Under record on the year in this scheduling situation. New York has played some higher scoring games recently, but they haven’t faced a top 10 defense in ten straight games. In fact, the last good defensive team the Knicks played was the Lakers and that game ended with just 207 total points. We like a low scoring game here and a solid Under bet.
