Knicks vs. Jazz Odds & Betting Predictions - November 23, 2024

The Knicks continue their Western Conference road trip against the Utah Jazz. This is a good scoring matchup for Karl-Anthony Towns. The Jazz have the third-worst Adjusted Net Rating and the league’s worst-Adjusted Defensive Rating, per Dunks and Threes. They get destroyed from every aspect on the defensive side of the ball but are allowing their opponents to shoot 67.4% at the Rim (29th) and 36.7% on 3s (22nd). Walker Kessler is a strong defensive option for Utah; however, it’s a difficult matchup against someone like KAT that can truly stretch the floor and attack from either 3 point range or get to the rack and even if Kessler is able to play, he may be a bit limited in his minutes. Couple that with Kyle Filipowski (ankle) being out, and this could set up for John Collins to be the primary defensive option on KAT which is less than ideal for Utah. I’ll grab KAT to exceed 26.5 Points.
