My Prediction
New York Knicks by 15Looking at this upcoming matchup, the Utah Jazz are going to face a major challenge on the road against the New York Knicks. Focusing on the Jazz's roster, their key players like Lauri Markkanen and John Collins have been consistent, posting figures around 19.6 and 17.7 points per game respectively this season. However, their sparkling stats have not translated to victories, which is evident in their disappointing 7-24 regular season record.
On the other side of the court, the Knicks - if I may say sculpted like Greek Gods in sneakers, have Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson who've been lighting up like Times Square on New Year's Eve, with their season stats reading 24.7 and 25.2 points per game, respectively. Their strong performances are reflected in their much superior season record of 23-10.
Now, for chroniclers of the past, the last four matchups between these two have been split right down the middle, but the Knicks' recent form suggests they've been sending opponents home crying more often than not, while the Jazz seem stuck in their own blues.
Keeping in mind the Jazz's deep-seated position at #14 in the Western Conference, and the Knicks perching comfortably at #3 in the Eastern Conference, I reckon the Jazz might need a miracle lover to swoop in and save their day.
So, putting the puzzle pieces together, and devoid of any bookies whispering in my ear, here's my prediction:
