Knicks Look to Extend Win Streak Against Struggling Jazz
The upcoming matchup between the Knicks and Jazz presents an interesting dynamic, with the Knicks currently on a winning streak and the Jazz struggling to secure victories.

Therefore, it is advisable to consider betting on the Knicks to cover the spread in this game.
