The Utah Jazz has been the team to surprise the league the most, for long periods of the current season. But they gradually began to lose ground and the franchise’s management thought it a good idea to move from veteran players to buying draft picks instead.
Russell Westbrook joined Jazz in a trade with the Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves involving Mike Conley and D’Angelo Russell. However, Westbrook won’t play for a single minute with this team, instead, he will be released to sign with a contending team. The Los Angeles Clippers, Miami Heat, and Toronto Raptors are some of the teams Westbrook might end up at.

The New York Knicks have secured two consecutive wins, except for Friday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The team looks fit enough to challenge Miami Heat for 6th place in the Eastern Conference.
Point guard Jalen Brunson consistently plays at a spectacular level and his last 10 games averaged 25.9 points, 6 assists, 2.7 rebounds, 50.3% shooting from the field, 44.2% three-point shooting from the field, and 44.2% three-point shooting. Brunson is one of the candidates who will take over for an injured Jaylen Brown in the NBA All-Star Game.
MatchPlug Prediction
New York won Utah by 118-111 in their last game this season, last November. In that match, Brunson was the star player with 25 points and 8 assists.
Noting the fact that the Jazz is not the same team it was at the beginning of the regular season and that the Knicks are having a good time, MatchPlug’s NBA Prediction Tonight believes that New York will win this Saturday night matchup.
Prediction: New York Knicks Spread.
