Jazz vs Knicks NBA Preview, Predictions

This NBA system focuses on teams that begin a road trip following a poor stretch of games, both straight up and against the spread, which is the situation for the Knicks and Jazz entering tonight's matchup at Madison Square Garden.

After losing several games in a row, teams often find value in the shift of environment that a road trip brings, providing a mental reset and renewed focus away from home distractions.

Early season months such as December tend to amplify this effect, as teams still have energy and motivation to correct early struggles.

The betting market tends to overreact to recent results, pushing lines too far against these teams.

This creates opportunity for value as struggling teams often play with added intensity and cohesion once they hit the road, leading to profitable rebound spots that the public overlooks.

So, let's take over 240.5 in Jazz-Knicks tonight.
