Knicks at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 117, Jazz 112

Moneyline

The Knicks (-245) will cost you almost 2½ times your potential return, and that's way to much risk and not enough reward. New York has dropped 3 of the past 4 road games, so that's quite risky behavior backing it away from home, too.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Knicks -6.5 (-108) have cashed in just 1 of the past 4 games on the road while going 3-6 ATS in the past 9 games overall, too. On the flip side, the JAZZ +6.5 (-112) have managed an outstanding 6-1 ATS record in the past 7 games overall dating back to Nov. 14 in a win and cover against the Portland Trail Blazers.

In addition, Utah is an impressive 3-1-1 ATS in the past 5 meetings against New York while going 6-3-1 ATS in the previous 10 battles in this series. Utah has covered 4 of the past 5 home meetings with New York dating back to Dec. 29, 2018.

BET JAZZ +6.5 (-112).

Over/Under

OVER 226.5 (-112) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

The Under has cashed in 6 of the past 7 meetings in this series, although the Over cashed in the most recent battle on Feb. 11 in New York last season.

The Knicks have seen the Over cash in 5 straight games overall while also going 5-0 in the past 5 games on the road.

The Jazz have hit the Over in 3 of the past 4 games overall while the Over is 3-0 in its 3 games against Eastern Conference opponents so far this season.
