More on Suns vs Knicks

This will be the first meeting between the Suns and Knicks this season. The two sides will meet again back in New York on Jan. 17.

For as much as Phoenix likes to shoot the three-ball, the Knicks do it better.

New York enters Thursday night's NBA slate as a top-five team in terms of three-pointers made (563) and three-point percentage (38.3%) on the season.

They're also top five in points per game (119.7) and rebounds per game (45.8). The Suns, in comparison, are 20th in boards collected per night at 43.5.

Where Phoenix does have the statistical advantage is generating turnovers, as their 10.6 steals per night is tops in the NBA.

The Suns have been quite the surprise this season in their unexpected start, pushing to currently have the West's No. 7 seed. New York was anticipated to again be a major player in the Eastern Conference, and thus far they've made good on that potential with the No. 2 seed in their grasp.

Suns fans will be more than happy to welcome Mikal Bridges back in the building, as Phoenix still has incredible love for a key part of their run to the 2021 NBA Finals.

Needless to say, Friday's battle in Phoenix has potential to be entertaining for both fan bases.
