Knicks vs Jazz Betting Pick
This game will be played at Vivint Arena at 9:00 PM ET on Tuesday, November 15, 2022.
Why Bet The Jazz:
✅ The Knicks have been simply abysmal defensively of late. They gave up 145 points to the Thunder in regulation in their last game, and they are now allowing the third most points per game in the Eastern Conference. Against an offensively talented Jazz team, the Knicks defense will continue to struggle.
✅ Utah has a ton of depth, unlike previous versions of their team that relied way too heavily on their starters. They have six double-figure scorers on their roster so far this season, and the Knicks will not be able to stop all of them.
✅ Utah has a top-five record against the spread so far this season, going 10-5-1 against the number thus far. New York, on the other hand, has been a bottom-10 team against the spread so far this year at 5-7-1.

New York Knicks
The New York Knicks are at 6-7 entering their West coast road trip, which starts with this game against the Jazz. For the Knicks, defense has been a huge problem of late, as they were demolished on that end of the floor by the Oklahoma City Thunder over the weekend. Here, the Knicks have to be better on defense if they want any shot at opening their road trip with a win.
This start to the season for the Knicks has inspired some questions about the future of Tom Thibodeau in New York. Regarded as a defensive coach in the past, he has not been able to get any defense out of this club so far this season, which could cost him if their struggles continue.
Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz were expected to be in the Victor Wembanyama sweepstakes after trading away several key players in the offseason. But they have been one of the best teams in the Western Conference so far this year. On Tuesday, they will aim to continue their hot start by preying on a lackluster Knicks defense.
What has made the Jazz so special early this year is that you never know where their offense is going to come from. In previous years, players like Donovan Mitchell and Bojan Bogdanovic made them predictable at times. But this year’s Jazz are hard to guard specifically because of how well-rounded they are.
