Game Preview
The Utah Jazz have four straight losses and are not looking well. The Jazzers have a 7-24 record and are near the bottom of the NBA Western Conference. The franchise from Salt Lake City allows the third-highest number of points per game, 119.8, and as you can see, their defense is terrible.
Even Lauri Markkanen plays below expectations. The big guy from Finland posts just 19.6 points and has 6.3 boards, which is below what we saw from him in the near past.
The Knicks are second in the Atlantic Division with a 23-10 record. Jalen Brunson and the company have posted eight wins in a row, with the most recent being against the Washington Wizards on the road, 126-106.
Unlike Utah, New York’s defense allows 10 fewer points, 109.8, and is the No.7 in the league in allowed points per game. After all, Tom Thibodeau’s teams play like that.
Jazz vs. Knicks Head-to-Head
One of Utah’s seven wins this year was against the Knicks in late November, 121-106.
Jazz vs. Knicks Prediction
The Jazzers are too weak for the hyped and in-form Knicks, who will use this occasion to start the New Year with a big win at Madison Square Garden. We predict their triumph by at least a 10-point margin.
