What to Know
The Utah Jazz have enjoyed the comforts of home their last four games, but now they must head out on the road. They will square off against the New York Knicks at 7:30 p.m. ET Sunday at Madison Square Garden. Utah won’t have the home-court advantage, but they do enjoy a 3.5-point advantage in the spread.
The Jazz took their matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers this past Friday by a conclusive 121-92 score. The game was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 71-34. The top scorers for Utah were point guard Jared Butler (21 points), point guard Jordan Clarkson (20 points), and center Rudy Gobert (19 points). Butler hadn’t helped his team much against the Chicago Bulls this past Wednesday, so this was a nice turnaround for him. Jared Butler’s points were the most he has had all season.
Meanwhile, things were close when New York and the Washington Wizards clashed this past Friday, but New York ultimately edged out the opposition 100-97. Small forward R.J. Barrett (18 points) and power forward Julius Randle (18 points) were the top scorers for New York.
The Jazz are expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten the Houston Rockets Jan. 19 easily too and instead slipped up with a 116-111. In other words, don’t count the Knicks out just yet.
