Utah Jazz vs New York Knicks Betting Preview

On December 20, 2023, the Utah Jazz (7-24) will face off against the New York Knicks (23-10) at Madison Square Garden, with tip-off set for 7:30 PM ET. The Knicks enter the matchup as heavy favorites, boasting a significant -13.0 spread and an impressive Moneyline of -800. In contrast, the Jazz's Moneyline sits at +580, reflecting an implied win probability of just 14%.

The Jazz are struggling, having lost their last four games, including a recent defeat against the Denver Nuggets, where they fell 132-121. Meanwhile, the Knicks are riding high, having won their last eight games, with their most recent victory coming against the Washington Wizards, where they secured a 126-106 win. This stark difference in momentum could play a crucial role in the outcome of the game.

Adding to the Jazz's challenges, they will be traveling cross-country and across two time zones, which could exacerbate their struggles in this road game. The long journey is expected to be a disadvantage, especially against a Knicks team that has been dominant at home.

For those looking at player prop markets, Karl-Anthony Towns's Points, Rebounds, and Assists has emerged as a popular betting option. The prop total opened at Over 40.5 Points, Rebounds, and Assists (-115) but has since steamed to 42.5 (-115), indicating sharp bettors are leaning towards the Over.
