The current betting odds have the Knicks listed as a 4 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Knicks have looked really good in their games this season with their 29-17 record overall which has them surging up the standings in the East right now. They have looked great on their home court with their 16-5 home record this year and they have a ton of momentum on their side with 6 wins in a row now. Meanwhile, the Jazz have also looked decent in their games this season with their 24-23 record overall, but a lot of that success has been coming in their games lately as they have looked a lot better. They have still been terrible in their road games though with their 9-17 road record and this is going to be a really tough situation for them. The Jazz are playing this game on a back-to-back which means they will be more tired for this 2nd game. The Knicks are also on a back-to-back here but they have more talent on their team to deal with this situation while the Jazz have looked terrible for most of the season and have just been starting to find success lately. That along with their road troubles is a recipe for disaster in this game against a surging Knicks team that has been one of the hottest teams in the NBA lately. The best way to place a bet here is on the Knicks to cover the spread in this game.
