Knicks vs Jazz Prediction | NBA Picks

Moving on to these teams’ betting statistics, New York is 18-11 as a favorite, 6-18 as an underdog and 12-13 ATS away, whereas Utah is 31-16 as a favorite, 1-5 as an underdog and 9-18 ATS at home. These middle-of-the-pack contenders have not played well over their last 10 games. Nonetheless, the Jazz have won two consecutive contests. That fact is more convincing to bettors at the moment than seeing the Knicks on a two-game skid.

Moreover, entering this matchup, Utah is a 7.5-point favorite. This is the first meeting between these teams this regular season. In other words, anyone’s prediction holds weight. Taking everything into account, pick the Jazz to win, the Knicks will cover the spread and the total will go under 220.5.
