Knicks hot ATS streak looking safe against 76ers

The New York Knicks have been clicking lately. The Knicks are currently riding a seven-game win streak and have covered in six of those games, only failing to cover a 15.5-point spread by three points.

The Knicks' recent dominance is looking good to continue as they travel to Philadelphia Friday. The Knicks are 8-1 ATS in their last nine games at the Wells Fargo Center.

The 76ers are currently on one of the worst runs in NBA history dropping their last 22 straight games and have only covered in seven of those games. Philadelphia is also an abysmal 10-26 ATS at home this season.

New York will be 12-point road favorites when they travel to Philadelphia Friday.

Game of the Day: Suns at Timberwolves
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phoenix Suns at Minnesota Timberwolves

The Phoenix Suns continue their pursuit of a possible playoff berth when they begin a three-game road trip at Minnesota on Sunday. Phoenix has won two straight and four of its last five to get within a half-game of Memphis entering Saturday in the race for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference, but the Suns play nine of their final 13 games on the road, where they are 8-11 against teams from the West. Eric Bledsoe scored 15 of his 23 points to lift Phoenix to a 98-92 win over Detroit at home Friday.

Minnesota still has designs on a late push, trailing the Grizzlies by 5 1/2 games going into Saturday, but a 129-106 setback at Houston on Thursday hurt the cause. One night after securing an overtime victory at Dallas, the Timberwolves ran out of steam against the high-powered Rockets, who scored 102 points over the final three quarters. Kevin Love scored 29 points and center Gorgui Dieng had 22 points and 21 rebounds in his third start in place of Nikola Pekovic, who is sidelined with an ankle injury.

TV: 3:30 p.m. ET, FSN Arizona (Phoenix)

LINE HISTORY: Lines out of Las Vegas suggest the Wolves as 2.5-point faves with a total of 212.

ABOUT THE SUNS (40-29 SU, 44-21-1 ATS, 35-31-3 O/U): It is undeniable that Bledsoe's successful return from knee surgery has been a big boost, as the club dropped six of the previous nine games before his comeback earlier this month. He is averaging 15.3 points in the four victories during the 4-1 surge and his ability to defend on the ball has helped Phoenix - which gives up an average of 102.7 points - limit opponents to 94.5 points in the four wins. Bledsoe, who ranked third in the NBA in steal percentage (3.7) last season - an estimate of the number of opponents' possessions that result in a steal by that player - has produced six thefts in the last three games.

ABOUT THE TIMBERWOLVES (34-33 SU, 33-34 ATS, 30-34-3 O/U): Love has played at an MVP-caliber level all season, but Minnesota often struggles when he gets little support. While Dieng had a breakout performance Thursday, second-leading scorer Kevin Martin was limited to six points and Corey Brewer - the only other healthy starter averaging in double figures - was held scoreless for the first time since Jan. 11, 2013. Since returning from a thumb injury at the beginning of the month, Martin is averaging 24.7 points in six wins against 14.3 in four losses.

TRENDS:

* Under is 6-1-1 in the last eight meetings in Minnesota.
* Road team is 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings.
* Suns are 23-9 ATS in their last 32 road games
* Timberwolves are 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall.
