The Knicks had won three straight games before falling at the Los Angeles Lakers 87-109 on January 9th to go 2-1 on their current four game road trip and were able to bounce back on Tuesday with a 100-86 performance over the Portland Trail Blazers. New York dominated for most of the game winning by 14-points and easily covered the spread as 4.5-point road underdogs in NBA predictions to go 24-12-1 ATS for the season. Amare Stoudemire continues to bully those that dare get in his path leading the Knicks with 26.2-ppg, 9-rebounds and 2.4-blocks on the season. Stoudemire dropped 23-points in Tuesday's win vs the Trail Blazers while Raymond Felton dished out 14-assists. New York has gone 10-4 straight up in Vegas NBA odds for their last 14-games on the road this season.
The Jazz had won two straight games before dropping two games of their own to the Atlanta Hawks 87-110 on January 5th and the Memphis Grizzlies 99-110 on January 7th. Just like the Knicks had recently done, the Jazz were also able to bounce back with a thrilling 103-99 overtime win on the road vs the Houston Rockets last Saturday as 1-point underdogs in NBA predictions to 19-18-1 on the season. Paul Millsap netted 27-points in the win vs Houston while Al Jefferson grabbed 13-rebounds and Deron Williams had 15-assists to bring the Rockets back after being down by 14-points at halftime. Williams leads Utah averaging 21.8-ppg and in assists (9.3) while Jefferson leads in rebounds (8.9) and blocks (2.0). Although the Jazz are 4-1 in NBA odds when playing at EnergySolution Arena vs the Knicks, they can't expect to come from behind and win tonight like they have in 12 of their games this season.
