The New York Knicks travel to the Delta Center to take on the Utah Jazz on Wednesday 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 Knicks Betting Preview
The New York Knicks have been in decent shape, as they’ve won six of their last 10 games overall, but they will be looking to avoid a third straight defeat after getting stopped by the Clippers in a 126-118 road defeat on Monday. Karl-Anthony Towns led the team with 35 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists on 13 of 17 shooting; Jalen Brunson added 28 points with eight assists, while OG Anunoby chipped in with 22 points.
As a team, the Knicks shot 51 percent from the field and 14 of 40 from the 3-point line, which are solid shooting numbers, but the Knicks were poor on the defensive end as they allowed 36 points in the second quarter to fall behind at halftime and things didn’t get much better in the fourth quarter, where the Clippers exploded for 38 points. The Knicks dominated the boards by 51-36, but they really hurt themselves as they racked up 19 turnovers, which was too much to overcome.
Utah Jazz Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz have been in a real slump lately, as they’ve lost eight of their last 10 games overall, but they will be eager to build some momentum after outlasting the Warriors in a 119-116 home win on Monday. Brice Sensabaugh led the team with 21 points, Kyle Filipowski added 19 points with 15 rebounds and five assists, and Elijah Harkless chipped in with 16 points and six assists.
As a team, the Jazz shot 48 percent from the field and 12 of 34 from the 3-point line as they hit the ground running and outpaced the Warriors through three quarters to open up an 11-point lead, but they allowed the Warriors back into the contest. However, with the scores locked up in the final minute of the game, it was the Jazz’s Blake Hinson who drained the clutch 3-pointer with just 29.9 seconds left to snatch the game away from the Warriors.

New York Knicks vs Utah Jazz Prediction
The Knicks are still missing Miles McBride and they have Josh Hart listed as questionable, while the Jazz have ruled out Jusuf Nurkic, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Lauri Markkanen with Keyonte George and John Konchar both questionable. These teams last met on Dec 5 and it was the Knicks who demolished the Jazz by 146-112. I’m not expecting such a margin of victory for the Knicks in this encounter, but I still have the Knicks coming away with a much-needed win and cover against the severely depleted Jazz in this spot.
