Knicks Looking to Bounce Back Against Suns!

The New York Knicks (22-17) are looking to bounce back from a dismal performance against the Sacramento Kings, as they take on the Phoenix Suns (17-21) in a Martin Luther King Day matinee at the World's Most Famous Arena.  The Knicks are 5-5 in their last ten, coming back down to earth after a glorious win streak followed by a great win over the league best, San Antonio Spurs (35-6).  While the Knicks have been uninspired as of late, the same can be said of the Suns, who suffered a convincing defeat at the hands of the Knicks on January 7th in the desert.  The Suns have struggled since the NBA landscape altering trade that saw the Magic becoming a powerhouse, and the Suns setting.  The Suns are led by Steve Nash (10.8 assists per game) and Vince Carter (17.8 points per game), but their veteran leadership has not been enough to keep the Suns relevant within the Western Conference.  The Knicks are going to look for Amare Stoudemire (26 points, 9 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game) to bounce back from his dismal shooting over the last four games, in which his health and durability have been questioned.  The Knicks will also look for Raymond Felton to neutralize the 2 time NBA MVP Steve Nash, as he was successful doing earlier in the year.
