The Utah Jazz got the road win in Brooklyn on Thursday night, but they now must turn around and face the New York Knicks on no days rest.<\/p>\n
It will be the third game in four nights for the Knicks, though, after they lost in Boston before beating the Hornets earlier this week. New York has now won five of its last six contests.<\/p>\n
The oddsmakers have the Knicks as huge home favorites at the best betting sites<\/a> on Friday night.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s take a look at the odds, players to watch and my prediction for Friday night\u2019s NBA matchup.<\/p>\n Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook<\/p>\n Spread<\/p>\n Moneyline<\/p>\n Total<\/p>\n Jazz Injury ReportKnicks Injury ReportJosh Hart OVER 18.5 Points + Assists (-119)<\/a><\/p>\n Josh Hart had a slow start to the season, but he\u2019s found his rhythm in recent weeks, especially after being put back in the starting lineup with OG injured. He\u2019s up to 12 points and 5.2 rebounds per game, which is still dragged down by coming slow out of the gates.<\/p>\n Hart has at least 21 points plus assists in five straight games and seven of his last 10 after reaching that mark in just one of his first 10 contests. He\u2019s averaging 15.6 points and 6.6 assists in that span, and has reached 19+ points in four of his last five games.<\/p>\n The Knicks have been terrific at home this season at 11-1, covering in 10 of 11 games as the home favorite as well as the lone time they were home underdogs. They\u2019ve also covered a few big spreads at Madison Square Garden this season.<\/p>\n This certainly isn\u2019t a great spot for the Knicks with their third game in four nights, but at least they were home on Wednesday night, and the Jazz are in a much worse position after playing last night.<\/p>\n Utah failed to cover as underdogs of 11.5, 13.5, 17, and 13 in its last eight games. I\u2019ll bank on the Knicks to blow them out at home.<\/p>\n Pick: Knicks -15.5 (-110)<\/a><\/p>\n Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n Unlock $200 in bonus bets \u2014 all without a promo code for DraftKings<\/a>.
