It's going to be a 5 game Tuesday night in the NBA. A very interesting game is going to happen in Utah, where the Jazz is going to host New York Knicks. Utah returned from 3 game road trip in the East where they had only 1 win and 2 losses and now they are the 4th best team in the Western Conference. New York is only the 9th best team in the Eastern Conference, they have split the last 6 games but in the last 9 games, they have only 3 wins.

The Jazz had close games against the Wizards and 76ers but came short in both. Utah didn't have a chance against Joel Embiid who dominated the game with 59 points. New York had an opportunity to win 2 games in a row but they were awful on defense versus Oklahoma City Thunder because New York allowed 145 points!

Per advanced stats, the Jazz is a clear favorite. Utah has the 5th best offense (114.7) this season, 9th best defense (110.2) and the 4th best net rating (4.6) while New York is 18th best on offense (111.3), 24th best on defense (113.5) and 25th best net rating (-2.3). In the last 3 games, both teams have only 1 win and 2 losses. Even if we compare net ratings in this game span, Utah is ahead by 7 positions (-3.3 and -8.7).

There are only 2 teams in the league who haven't lost at home so far, and the Jazz is one of them. Utah has won all 5 home games and they have the best 2nd net rating at home (13.6) but New York struggles away from home as they have 2 wins in 6 games and we can also see that in the net rating as it is only the 24th best (-6.3). New York has lost 3 road games by at least 11 points but Utah has won 4 home games with at least 8 points.

Both teams are struggling a little bit in the recent games but I'm more confident that Utah will get out of the slump. Utah has a deeper roster as 6 players scores at least 10 points but on the Knicks roster, only 4 score at least 10 points. New York just traveled across the country and will start 5 game road trip. Although the rosters were different in the previous years, Utah has won 4 straight home games against the Knicks.

周二晚上将是NBA的五场比赛。一场非常有趣的比赛将在犹他州举行，爵士队将在那里主场迎战纽约尼克斯队。爵士结束了东部的3场客场之旅，在那里他们只有1胜2负，现在他们是西部第4强的球队。纽约是东部第9强的球队，他们在过去的6场比赛中平分了胜负，但在过去的9场比赛中，他们只赢了3场。

爵士在对阵奇才和76人的比赛中势均力敌，但在这两场比赛中都表现不佳。爵士在面对恩比德时没有机会，恩比德全场拿下59分。纽约本来有机会连赢两场，但他们在对阵雷霆时防守很糟糕，因为纽约丢了145分!

根据先进的数据，爵士是最受欢迎的球队。爵士在本赛季的进攻榜上排名第五(114.7)，防守榜上排名第九(110.2)，净效率榜上排名第四(4.6)，而纽约在进攻榜上排名第18(111.3)，防守榜上排名第24(113.5)，净效率榜上排名第25(-2.3)。在过去的3场比赛中，两队仅1胜2负。即使我们比较这一场比赛的净收视率，爵士也领先7个名次(-3.3和-8.7)。

到目前为止，联盟只有两支球队在主场没有输球，爵士就是其中之一。爵士5个主场都赢了，他们在主场的净收视率排名第二(13.6)，但纽约队在客场很挣扎，因为他们在6场比赛中赢了2场，我们也可以从净收视率中看到，他们只排在第24位(-6.3)。纽约队客场输了3场至少11分，但爵士队主场赢了4场至少8分。

两支球队在最近的比赛中都有些挣扎，但我更有信心爵士会走出低迷。爵士的球员阵容更深，有6名球员得分至少10分，但尼克斯的球员中只有4人得分至少10分。纽约队刚刚穿越了整个国家，将开始5场客场之旅。尽管前几年的阵容有所不同，但爵士在主场对阵尼克斯的比赛中取得了4连胜。
