Utah Jazz Host New York Knicks Saturday

The Utah Jazz are struggling with a four-game losing streak, currently sitting at the bottom of the Western Conference with only three wins this season. In their last game, they squandered a significant lead against the San Antonio Spurs, prompting coach Will Hardy to criticize his team's lack of competitive spirit. Conversely, the New York Knicks are riding a four-game winning streak, having recently defeated the Phoenix Suns, with coach Tom Thibodeau praising the team's unselfish play and improved cohesion. Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns have emerged as key performers, contributing significantly to the Knicks' success. Injury reports indicate that the Jazz will be missing several players, including Walker Kessler, while the Knicks also face some absences but remain in strong form. As they prepare to meet in Salt Lake City, the Knicks aim to extend their winning streak against a faltering Jazz team.
