The New York Knicks and the Utah Jazz duke it out at the Delta Center on Saturday night. Here’s a New York Knicks vs Utah Jazz Prediction. This article will include a New York Knicks vs Utah Jazz Pick.
New York KnicksÂ
The New York Knicks have been in great shape as they’ve reeled off five wins in their past six outings and they will be aiming for a fifth straight victory after blowing past the Suns in a 138-122 road win on Wednesday. Jalen Brunson led the team with 36 points and 10 assists, Karl-Anthony Towns added 34 points with 10 rebounds while Josh Hart chipped in with 19 points, 11 rebounds, and six assists. As a team, the Knicks shot 58 percent from the field and 19 of 39 from the 3-point line as they caught fire from behind the arc and set the tone with 44 points in the first quarter. The Suns did make a bit of a run in the second half, but the Knicks were always in control with Brunson and Towns scoring constantly. The Knicks will meet the Nuggets after this game.
Utah JazzÂ
Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz have been in a rut as they’ve lost five of their last six games overall and they will be hoping to snap a four-game skid after getting beaten by the shorthanded Spurs in a 126-118 road defeat on Thursday. Lauri Markkanen led the team with 27 points, Keyonte George added 19 points while John Collins and Collin Sexton each scored 18 points. As a team, the Jazz shot just 41 percent from the field and 13 of 45 from the 3-point line as they shot out of the gates to an early 20-point lead, only to get run down in the second half where they got outscored by 75-51. Isaiah Collier had a rough night as he shot just one of eight for his four points.Â

New York Knicks vs Utah Jazz Prediction
The Knicks are still missing Precious Achiuwa and Mitchell Robinson, while the Jazz are still without Jordan Clarkson and Walker Kessler. This is a classic case of two teams headed in opposite directions as the Knicks are really starting to heat up, while the Jazz have continued their ice-cold run with a tough loss to the Spurs. The Knicks are obvious favorites here and they just seem to be in a groove with both Brunson and Towns playing some excellent basketball. Maybe the Jazz hang around in the first half, but in the end, I have the Knicks winning by double digits.
