The New York Knicks are riding a two-game winning streak, even if their Friday night victory over the Wizards was some appalling basketball. The guys are taking a few steps up in weight class Sunday, as they take on the Utah Jazz at MSG.
The Jazz are weird. They have the No. 1 offense in the NBA and are No. 2 in net rating, but they are not a powerhouse in the standings. In fact, they sit just two games ahead the red-hot Minnesota Timberwolves for the seventh spot in the West. They need this win bad.
Fortunately for the Knicks, the Jazz are banged up.
