The New York Knicks can land a major upgrade in a trade with the Utah Jazz to transform their roster into title favorites.

The Utah Jazz head to Madison Square Garden to face the New York Knicks in a non-conference matchup. These two teams currently sit on opposite ends of the NBA standings. The Knicks, with a record of 22-10, are the fourth best team in the entire league. The Jazz, on the other hand, with a record of 7-24, are the fifth worst team in the league.

New York Knicks star Josh Hart has vowed to show a little more love to officials. Often seen as one of the more easy-going, humorous players in the modern NBA, Hart hasn't won over referees, who have charged him six technical fouls this season,

Utah even showed this strength earlier this year against the Knicks. New York suffered a rare loss on November 23, taking a 121-106 defeat on the road to the Jazz. Markkanen went off for 34 points in that contest, with five other players scoring in double figures.

The Indiana Pacers will host the Chicago Bulls for an Eastern Conference matchup on Wednesday, and the two franchises are jockeying for playoff position. Indiana is 19-18 overall and 9-6 at home, while Chicago is 17-19 overall and 10-8 on the road.
