nothing special here so i'll bet my regular 1 unit play coz as we all know, jazz are known to be a bad, very bad, road team.

after much reading and capping, im actually sold now! betting 2 units on this pick!

some reading materials:
utah news
ny news

Good information in the articles. But nothing in those articles confirms that Utah will win tonight.

that's why it's called gambling!

Yea just read the NY news one, and it seems like the NY players don't really care. They are not going to be picked up as FA from the team, and Donnie Walsh sucks at being a GM much like Thomas did.
When a team has loads of players in contract years that equates to no team chemistry, but independent motives to score, and boost stats. They will continue do that in order to make themselves attractive commodities next year

Jazz -5 or nothing.

Jazz being 0-8 on the road tells you how good (or otherwise) they're on the road. The Knicks may play selfishly but can still outscore a mediocre Utah team.

my jazz pick for tonight is what other people would call 'situational play'!
NBA compared to other sports is NOT ALL about stats and trends! .... but then again, each to his own!

That's true. Situational capping doesn't apply only to the NBA. Jazz may be in a good spot for a win, no doubt. I definitely can't bet on the Knicks in this game, but I equally find no value in playing an unproven road team.

BOL.

Thanks for sharing the info. The only thing that seems odd to me is that players in their last contract year usually play up to secure a good deal the next year, regardless of whether it's for the team they're currently playing for. It's definitely worth keeping an eye on though.

jazz are decent but i dont lay points on them when on the road

[TJHotpicks]

Good luck tonight with the pick. I like the Jazz myself tonight.

[Razz_Donkey]

Good luck, on the Knicks ML myself though.

[PockyStick]

73% bets on the Jazz yet the spread from -5.5 to -4.5.

[mundane]

OUCH!!!!!

[HoulihansTX]

Wow. What a shit team the Jazz are. They became complacent with just getting the win.
