Utah Jazz vs NY Knicks Prediction
The NY Knicks are capable of blowing the doors off, but they’re also 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 games when favorites of 7 or more points. The Utah Jazz have been more competitive with the return of Lauri Markkanen and others, and four of their last five losses have been decided by single digits. Also, a weird early start on the west coast which could affect a team on an east coast clock. Give me the Jazz and the points.
