My guess is
Knicks 104
Suns 107

Booker goes for Fifty tonight.

Suns will need Booker's scoring with Oubre out. Knicks are really going to pound the Suns inside tonight.

Special players play their best at Madison Garden. I'm more confident in Booker getting his points than the Suns getting a victory tonight.

I'm not thinking victory. Hoping the Suns might be able to squeeze out a win. Booker will get his for sure.

He needs to. If people are worried about Booker being mad at the Suns for the product they surround him with, then dam it play mad.

No more sorry losses to teams like the no name Hawks, that is un excusable.

It's time for Ayton to step up tonight... not just Booker.

We need an Alpha Male, and we don't have one.

There is nobody that can guard booker in this game.

Knicks have bodies to throw at Ayton. But yes Ayton needs to step up.

It's time for Ayton to put on his big boy pants. I'm fresh out of excuses.

Booker will carry more than his share of the load. He most always does. Other Suns players need to step up as well, like Rubio.

I'm anxious to see Booker shut me up then, and I hope he does. But Booker has to lead the way, its why he is being paid the max. 30 points would be cute but I am expecting more from him.

Even Book he gets 50, will that lead the team to victory?

That comment is not about him as much as the rest of the team
in terms of defense and rebounding in addition to offense.

I'm sure Booker will lead the way whether that be scoring 30, 40, 50 or 60 points.

However, Ayton needs to take the next step.

Fine. Somebody anybody please step up. There have been plenty of #1's that played on garbage teams and lead them to the playoffs (AI,KG, Ray Allen, Kobe, Lebron, heck even Michael Jordan almost did it with the Wizards at the age of 40 something).

The losing is wearing thin. but I ain't going anywhere.

Booker with 2 quick fouls. Knicks are taking it to the basket as expected.

Booker (the third top free throw shooter in the league) misses two free throws
and clunks the third which rolls in. Not a good sign. Neither are his two quick fouls.

A blocked shot and 2 free throws coming for Ayton in the last minute. Granted, the free throws came off a jumper, but still, I'm in heaven.

How the hell did Marcus Morris become one of the elite shooters in the league?
