This game will be played at Madison Square Garden at 7:30 PM ET on Saturday, February 11, 2023.
Why Bet the Knicks:
✅ The Knicks have superior depth to the Jazz, which will make the difference on the second night of a back to back. The New York bench ranks sixth in the NBA in net rating, which will help them pull ahead and stay ahead here.
✅ Utah got worse at the trade deadline, moving several key reserves in Malik Beasley and Jarred Vanderbilt. They are a worse shooting team than they were before the deadline, which will hurt them in a game where they will need to score to keep up with a potent Knicks team.
✅ The Jazz have been a sustainably bad road team throughout the 2022-23 NBA season. They are 10-17 on the road this year, and having to travel from Canada to the United States overnight will not make things any easier.

Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz enter Saturday having played and won in Toronto on Friday night. They outscored the Raptors 39-20 in the fourth quarter to come back and win that game by six points, with Walker Kessler and Lauri Markkanen scoring 23 points each to pace Utah. Here, the Jazz will hope to win for a second straight night against an Atlantic Division opponent.
For the Jazz to do that, they will need to get off to a stronger start than they did against the Raptors. That fourth quarter performance by the Jazz last night was incredible, but it is far from sustainable. Utah needs to lock in defensively, especially against the duo of Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson, if they want to win this contest.
New York Knicks
The New York Knicks lost on Friday night, relinquishing a convincing first half lead against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Knicks struggled to get stops late in that game, which is to be expected when facing Joel Embiid and James Harden. But the Knicks may not find defending any easier when facing Lauri Markkanen and the Jazz.
For the Knicks, there is some concern that their young stars are not delivering of late. RJ Barrett shot 7/16 against the Sixers on Friday, while Obi Toppin has failed to look like an NBA player at times lately. New York needs players like them to perform, especially since they declined to trade those players to bring in another star.
