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.
