Utah at New York

Premium Pick

Utah is getting plenty of points here, and New York will be looking ahead to Friday's huge matchup against Oklahoma City. The Jazz are on a 5-1 ATS run and they have won nine of 13 meetings outright. Utah has covered five straight against Eastern Conference teams and it won the first meeting this season 121-106 on Nov. 23. Lauri Markkanen scored 34 points in that game and the Jazz took advantage of defensive miscues by the Knicks, who depend on an top-performing offense. Utah's 5-0 ATS run ended with a 132-121 defeat against Denver on Monday when the Jazz shot better than 50 percent overall, but missed 25 of 38 3-point tries. They'll keep this one within the number and take the big points with the Jazz.
