Knicks vs Jazz Prediction
The current betting odds have the Jazz listed as a 4.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Jazz got off to a very hot start this season and right now they are one of the teams with the most wins in the NBA this year. They made a lot of big trades in the offseason getting rid of 2 of their biggest stars but they received a lot of good young players in return and they are showing their skill this season with the way they have been playing. The Jazz are still undefeated at home this season through 5 games and they have played some of their best basketball in those games. The Knicks have struggled a lot more in road games and after getting out to a decent start, things are starting to fall apart for the Knicks just like they did last season. The Knicks have a lot of young talent on their team but they still need time to grow together while the Jazz have some really good pieces there who are playing with chips on their shoulders after getting traded from their teams in the offseason. The Jazz are going to continue their dominance at home this year with a big win over the Knicks here who have also had some big problems defending leads this season. The best way to place a bet here is on the Jazz to cover the spread in this game.
