the Jazz have lost 3 of their last 4 games and they are back at home tonight where they are a 3-point betting favorite facing the Knicks. New York has been a mild surprise this season, but they have still lost 2 in a row and are 2-games under .500.
All the talk in New York is about rookie Kristaps Porzingis and while he is playing well the face of the franchise Carmelo Anthony is only shooting 40% from the floor. However, while he missed the last game facing the Jazz he lit them up for a combined 80 points on 60% shooting in his last 2 games facing them.
In their last games the Jazz lost to the Sacramento Kings 114-106 and the Knicks lost to the Dallas Mavericks 104-97.

This season the Jazz are 4-4 at home and the Knicks are 5-5 on the road.
New York Knicks
The Knicks got off to a good start this season, but they have lost 6 of their last 8 games. In their last 8 games they are only averaging 94.1 ppg and are shooting below 30% from beyond the 3-pt arc.
New York ranks 23rd in the league in scoring, but they have played good D ranking 10th in opponents’ points allowed.
The Knicks only have 3 players averaging in double figures led by Anthony, (21.5 ppg), who has scored fewer than 18 points in 4 of his last 5 games.

Last season the Jazz swept the 2-game series with the Knicks.
Utah Jazz
One reason the Jazz have been struggling as of late is they have been without injured center Rudy Gobert, who leads the team in rebounds and is the defensive stopper in the plaint.
He is out again tonight and Utah has given up an average of 110.5 ppg in their last 4 games.
Utah has to play solid D to win, which they have not done as of late, as they rank 22nd in the league in scoring and 3rd in opponents’ points allowed.
Gordon Hayward and Derrick Favors have been playing well as of late, but they have not gotten much help and the aforementioned defense is the main issue.
Favors is averaging 21 ppg and 10.8 rpg in the last 4 games when he had a double-double in each. Last season in the 2 wins over the Knicks he combined for 50 points and 24 rebounds.
