Jazz vs Knicks Prediction

January 25, 2021

Jazz vs Knicks is an inter-conference Conference tilt between a high end Utah Jazz team and a middling New York Knicks team, that is at least a year away from relevance. Utah Jazz vs New York Knicks has been played over 100 times, with the split being essentially 50/50 for each team. The edge shifts from noedge to significant towards the Jazz in recent years. You will find the best NBA picks for New York Knicks vs Utah Jazz below.

Utah Jazz vs New York Knicks Betting Pick

The Pick: New York Knicks +11.5

Monday Night at 9:00PM EST at the Vivint Center

Why should you bet the New York Knicks?

Deceptively strong road team: The New York Knicks actually carry a stronger winning percentage on the road than they do at home this season. Statistics track this as their average point differential is -3.6 at home at Madison Square Garden. While their point differential per game on the road is -0.3, which places them in the top half of the league.

In what is an odd trend, the Knicks offensive efficiency is quite similar at home and on the road, but their defensive efficiency is what improves away form home.

Roster improvement: While there haven’t been any recent acquisition for the New York Knicks, they recently got wing Alec Burks back from injury. He is an upgrade and is arguably playing the best basketball of his career.

We also saw the emergence of guard Immanuel Quickley in their last game at Portland. He dropped 31 points in just 24 minutes. He was especially efficient from three point range, making five of eight shots from behind the arc. With more competence in the backcourt to complement the frontcourt, the Knicks are a more balanced and tougher team.

Slower pace: The New York Knicks are the slowest pace team in the league, and with the fewer possessions. They allow just 103.6 points per game, the best mark in the league.

Despite a strong 12-4 record, the Utah Jazz have won zero games by more than 10 points in which they failed to score more than 115 points. The New York Knicks style keeps games closer and the Utah Jazz clearly do not run away with games without larger figures on the scoreboard.

Over/Under wagers on this New York Knicks vs Utah Jazz contest would be betting over or under 211.5 combined points for the two teams.

There are multiple factors that go into Over/Under wagering, including pace (expected possessions per game), offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency. Knowing which teams play faster and slower, and which teams play with a higher and lower level of efficiency at each end of the floor.

Jazz vs Knicks Moneyline Predictions

Money Line wagering on NBA is a fun way to bet on one team or the other, while taking the point spread out of play.

Instead of laying or taking the points on the spread, you can lay odds on the favorite or take odds

on the underdog to simply win the game outright. If you are looking to wager on a game, for instance theUtah Jazz vs New York Knicks Money Line predictions. But if you want to avoid the point spread, a Money Line wager is worth considering.

For an example of how a Money Line wager differs from an against the spread wager, we will use our Utah Jazz -11.5 hypothetical example from above. Instead of the standard -110 odds on an against the spread play, the Utah Jazz can be bet on to simply win outright while laying odds. The New York Knicks can be bet on to win the game outright while getting odds.

In our hypothetical, we would expect to have to lay about -375 on the Utah Jazz and expect to get about +295 on the Knicks.

While there is no historical edge on the all ttime season the Utah Jazz having an edge on the recent games played. That points to the Utah Jazz to win but that is just one piece of the puzzle.
