Knicks are 6-3 on the 2nd night of back to back games. Jazz are 0-2 when getting 3 or more days rest between games.

Knicks are 11-8 on the road. At 12-6, Jazz aren't much better at home.
 
Knicks are playing against Blazers, tonight. Blazers are tough and that game will be physical. I hope our guys will not disappoint us by losing yet another home against against a team that is in the midst of a long road trip, playing a b2b game.

We may see Memo play tomorrow but I'm not sure how much he would contribute in a probably running style game. His offensive threats, versatility certainly would add some dimensions to our recently consistently inconsistent bench unit but I think if NYK goes small in 1nd unit - actually their 1st unit can also be considered small with Turiaf&Amar'e - Jerry might have to go with a small 2nd unit with Price and Watson playing 1-2 guards + Evans or AK playing 4-5.

Knicks are a good team. Their offensive efficiency is one of the best among the NBA teams. My keys to the game:
- Defending the transition/early offense
- Taking care of the ball (which the Jazz have recently not done a good job of)
- Dwill's frustration level with the refs. Felton will play with passion and a lot of aggression.
- Sticking with the offense and feeding BigAl down low, where he has a clear advantage against too excited Turiaf.
 
Just wanted to add Gallinari should still be out for this game (knee sprain on Jan 3rd out 2-3 weeks) also the Knicks are playing in Porty tonight and so they will be playing their last of a 4 game road trip when they play the Jazz tomorrow.
I'll take any help the Jazz can get since we all know their record after having rest, specifically 3 days rest.
 
The Knicks play careless, reckless basketball. I do not want to see the Jazz get sucked in to their style of play.
