The Utah Jazz will go for a season sweep of the Knicks when the two teams meet in New York tonight.
Tipoff is set for 5:30 p.m. MT.
With a record of 21-22, the Knicks are currently sitting in 10th place in the Eastern Conference standings (1.5 games behind the Celtics for the final playoff slot). They’re 6-4 in their last 10 games.
New York is led by the duo of eight-time All-Star Carmelo Anthony and standout rookie Kristaps Porzingis. Anthony leads the Knicks in scoring (21.5 ppg) and is also averaging a career-high 3.9 assists per game.
Porzingis–who has the fourth best selling jersey in the league–is averaging 14.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.0 blocks.
Arron Afflalo, Jose Calderon and Robin Lopez usually round out New York’s starting five, while Lance Thomas, Langston Galloway, Derrick Williams and Jerian Grant come off the bench.
The Jazz (18-23) will be looking to bounce back from a double-overtime loss in Charlotte on Monday. Gordon Hayward (36 points) and Trey Burke (25 points) led the way against the Hornets.
Derrick Favors (back) has missed Utah’s last 14 games and is listed as doubtful to play against the Knicks.
