The New York Knicks and Utah Jazz meet on NBA TNT for a Saturday slate featuring three nationally televised games.
New York has won four straight games over the Nets twice, Wizards and Suns to reach 9-6 on the season. The Knicks are in the second game of a five-game road trip that started in Phoenix and ends in Charlotte. The Knicks are 4-4 on the road this year and won the past two.
Utah is 3-12 on the season and losers of four straight games. The Jazz are back home after four straight road games at the Kings, Clippers, Lakers, and Spurs. Utah is 1-5 at home this season but welcomes back Walker Kessler to action to compliment Lauri Markkanen who has led Utah in scoring with 25 and 27 points over the last two games.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes OG Anunoby to go Over his 15.5 points prop against the Utah Jazz:
“In 11 games this month, Anunoby scored at least 15 points in eight out of those contests and 16-plus in seven games. The Knicks’ forward averages 19.4 points per game on the month and 36.6 minutes per game.
OG’s shooting 51/40/83 splits on the month and is in a good spot after only taking seven field goal attempts in his last outing. In the two times that he had less than 10 field goal attempts, OG bounced back with 21 and 14 points on 8-of-15 and 6-of-12 from the field in the following games.
Utah is a soft matchup for OG to exploit and with Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns as the two of the top most bet players on the slate, I like taking a shot on the third-leading scorer for New York.”
Here are the best bets our model is projecting for the Knicks and the Jazz:
· Moneyline: NBC Sports finds confidence in taking New York on the ML (-360)
· Spread: NBC Sports has strong confidence in New York -8.5 on the spread
· Total: NBC Sports has low confidence towards a play on the Total UNDER 232.5 points
