The Utah Jazz face the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on November 6th, 2016. Here is all the information you need to watch the game.
The Utah Jazz face off with the New York Knicks today, making their lone visit of the season to New York City. The Jazz come into the game with a 3-3 record, losing their last game to the San Antonio Spurs. The Knicks come into the game 2-3, defeating the Chicago Bulls Friday night in an emotional game.
This is the first game of a lengthy road trip for the Jazz. Utah will be away from Salt Lake City for the next five games. It will be a good test for a Jazz team that has been on the cusp of postseason play recently in the Western Conference and added some veteran talent to help get them over the hump.
George Hill has been an excellent addition, as he currently leads the team with 20 points per game. Joe Johnson has been solid as well, stepping into the starting lineup for the injured Gordon Hayward and averaging 13.7 points per game.
The Jazz will get a boost this afternoon as Hayward is expected to make his season debut after missing the first six games. Hayward fractured his finger on October 7th in practice and was expected to be out at least six weeks; he will be returning in just under four.
