<h2>
Utah Jazz at New York Knicks Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
<b>Utah Jazz </b>
</p>
<p>
The Jazz step into this game off a two-game winning streak where they have gone 1-0-1 ATS in these two victories. Most recently, Utah defeated Cleveland in its barn on Monday when they put together a 126-113 win over the Cavaliers to cover as a 10-point road favorite.
</p>
<p>
<b>New York Knicks </b>
</p>
<p>
The Knicks enter into this contest in good form as they have also won and covered in their last two matches. Most recently, the Knicks orchestrated a shocker as they upset the visiting Houston Rockets 125-123 despite closing as a 10-point underdog.

<h2>
Reasons To Avoid Utah<br />
</h2>
<p>
Situationally, Utah would be a popular choice here, given the contrasting states of both sides overall. However, Utah's supremacy against New York likely puts it in position to be overvalued here despite looking "easy" spotting less lumber compared to recent markets. Nevertheless, backing Utah here is still likely playing the Jazz at a lousy number. When emotional intangibles are factored in the equation, Utah could be found guilty of taking New York lightly while the Knicks will treat this affair as a playoff game. The resultant puts Utah on upset alert.
</p>
<h2>
Reasons To Back New York<br />
</h2>
<p>
The Knicks have strategic edges that give them an opportunity to be competitive in this contest. The Knicks commit fewer turnovers than their counterparts, bode a deeper bench overall, and they are the more physical team on the glass. New York averages 46.6 rebounds per game (6th in the NBA) to Utah’s 11th-ranked 45.6 boards per contest. All of these intangibles allow the Knicks to capitalize on Utah mistakes and create a prospect of the Knickerbockers playing a more robust game in the paint to wear this Jazz team down. We get said team likely with enhanced points, coming off of a huge win that will spur momentum. I like that position.
