Knicks at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 124, Jazz 110

Moneyline

PASS.

The Knicks (-410) will pick up the win and cover, but such heavy favorites are never worth the risk of betting. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN KNICKS -8.5 (-115).

New York has covered the spread back-to-back games, while the Jazz are only 1-2 ATS in their last 3. The Knicks are also 3-1 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

With so many injuries for Utah, backing the Knicks is a pretty safe bet.

This is a lean because Utah and New York have been very similar ATS this season.

Over/Under

BET OVER 233.5 (-110).

The Over has hit in back-to-back games for Utah and is 3-1 in its last 4.

For New York, the Over is 2-0 in its last 2 outings and 4-1 in its last 5. The Over also hit in the meeting.

Be aware that the Under is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings.

New York Knicks at Utah Jazz odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s New York Knicks at Utah Jazz odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Utah Jazz (10-5) welcome the New York Knicks (6-7) to Vivint Smart Home Arena Tuesday. Tip is set for 9 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Knicks vs. Jazz odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Jazz are coming into this game following a 105-98 loss Sunday to the Philadelphia 76ers. Utah was 3.5-point road underdogs and return home for a 2-game homestand.

The Jazz are led by F Lauri Markennan, who was brought in as part of the trade for G Donovan Mitchell. Markennan is averaging 21.8 points per game, 1 of 6 Jazz players consistently notching double figures.

The Knicks have not been playing up to par lately and are just 2-7-1 against the spread (ATS) in their last 10. They recently lost by 10 points (145-135) to the Oklahoma City Thunder at home as 5.5-point favorites.

New York has been aided offensively by the offseason signing of G Jalen Brunson, averaging 19.5 points per game. F Julius Randle leads the team at 20.8 PPG.

Knicks at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 120, Knicks 113

Moneyline

PASS.

Utah has shown enough to be the rightful favorite, but I wouldn’t play it at this value.

Against the spread

BET JAZZ -4.5 (-105).

Utah, simply put, is the more trustworthy team right now. It is 4-1 ATS as the home team.

The Jazz rank 4th in defensive rating as well, and the Knicks are coming off a battle in which they gave up 145 to the team sitting 20th in that category. New York’s offensive and defensive rating is in the league’s bottom half.

The Knicks’ effective field goal rate is 23rd in the NBA and that drops to 29th when considering only road games, so when they aren’t in MSG, New York isn’t great at shooting.

Put it all together, and back Jazz -4.5 (-105).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 230.5 (-110).

One of the pivotal strengths for New York is its ability to crash the offensive glass.

It ranks 7th in the NBA in offensive rebounding rate which is far better than Utah’s defensive rebounding rate which sits 27th. That should produce extra opportunities for the Knicks and inevitably lead to more scoring.

New York also ranks 10th in pace, and its defense shortcomings were noticeable against the Thunder recently. Without Robinson in the paint, Markennan should get far easier looks.

New York is 7-5-1 O/U this season.

New York Knicks at Utah Jazz odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s New York Knicks at Utah Jazz odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The New York Knicks (24-29) head to Salt Lake City Monday to play the Utah Jazz (32-21). The tip-off at Vivint Arena is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Knicks vs. Jazz odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

New York lost for the fifth time in its last six games Sunday in a 122-115 overtime defeat at the Los Angeles Lakers as a 5-point road underdog. The Knicks is 23rd in net rating and 2-4 against the spread (ATS) over the last two weeks.

Utah has won back-to-back home games over the Denver Nuggets (108-104 Wednesday) and the Brooklyn Nets (125-102 Friday) in G Donovan Mitchell‘s first game back from a stint in the concussion protocol. The Jazz are 2-4 straight up (SU) and ATS in the last 14 days.

These teams split last season’s two meetings 1-1 SU and ATS with the home team winning and covering each contest.

Knicks at Jazz odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 116, Knicks 110

Money line

PASS.

I slightly “lean” towards the Knicks (+330) because of the fat payout and because I “lean” towards New York plus the points.

However, the Knicks are 6-17 SU as underdogs and the Jazz are 31-16 SU as favorites. New York is also 8-21 SU versus teams with a winning record and Utah is 16-9 SU versus teams with a losing record.

Against the spread

“LEAN” to the KNICKS +8.5 (-115) for a half-unit wager because the Jazz give up too many easy buckets with Gobert out of the lineup.

Gobert has missed Utah’s previous six games and, over that span, the Jazz are 25th in defensive rating, 26th in fastbreak points per game (PPG) allowed and 24th in paint PPG allowed.

The Jazz also have played down to their competition recently: Utah is 0-5 ATS in its last five games versus teams with a losing record.

However, I only “LEAN” to the KNICKS +8.5 (-115) since I prefer the Over in this game.

Over/Under

BET the OVER 218.5 (-115) for a three-fourths unit because both teams are top-four in free-throw attempt rate and top-seven in 3-point attempt rate.

We’ve already discussed Utah’s defensive troubles with Gobert out of the lineup but New York is 4-1 O/U in its last five games.

S harp money is on the Over as the total for the Knicks-Jazz has been steamed from 213.5-point opener up to the current price.

The OVER 218.5 (-115) is my favorite wager in the Knicks-Jazz game.

Knicks at Jazz: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Jazz 109, Knicks 101

Money line (ML)

The Jazz (-600) will cost you six times your potential return. That’s just way too risky, especially since the Knicks (+425) aren’t the pushover they have been in the past. You could hit this wager 85 percent of the time, which would be amazing, and you would be behind -500 over the course of 100 bets. Plus, New York won 112-100 as 7.5-point underdogs Jan. 6 in New York. AVOID.

Against the spread (ATS)

The KNICKS +11.5 (-120) have been able to keep the Jazz -11.5 (-110) within arm’s length for many years, for whatever reason. The personnel has changed over the years, but New York is still the play here until Utah starts to tick off several covers in a row in this series. NYK is 25-6 ATS across the past 31 meetings, including 12-3 ATS in the past 15 trips to Salt Lake City.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 213.5 (-110) is a good play. Yes, Utah has hit the Over in three in a row, but they’re still third in defensive scoring average at 106.1 PPG. New York has allowed 103.6 PPG to rank first in the NBA, and the Knicks are also 43.2 in defensive field-goal percentage and first in 3-pointer percentage, too at 31.4. The Under also hit in the first meeting with 212 total points on a number of 214.5. We’ll have a similarly close shave here.
