The Knicks and Jazz have played similar strengths of schedule in their last five games and statistically, these two teams are even in most facets of the game. The one main outlier is the fact that the Knicks' opponents own an above 60% effective FG against them, which is insanely high. This is not going to hold up for very long, as even the worst defense all of time will have lower numbers of FG % against in the long-run. This creates some value for us with NYK, as the Knicks are still forcing turnovers and limiting them on defense, getting to the free-throw line, and taking care of both the offensive and defensive glass. Statistically, in my opinion, this sets up to be a very close game so to get more than a bucket is valuable in my eyes. I think the Knicks have a 50/50 shot at the outright win, so the ML is worth a look, but I will take the points as I think this one comes down to the wire.
