The Utah Jazz will face a big challenge during a tough four-game road trip, but they’ll hope to begin with a victory tonight at Madison Square Garden against the New York Knicks.

NBA basketball odds have the Jazz listed as 4-point road favorites.

Utah, already 0-2 on the road, now embarks on a trip that includes games at Boston and Cleveland. The visit to New York may present the team’s best odds for a victory, even though the Jazz have lost five straight games there since 2004.

That’s because the Knicks have allowed at least 100 points in each of their seven games, with opponents shooting 49.8 percent from the field, which are among the worst marks in the NBA.

New York gave up 40 points in the first quarter of a 102-87 loss at Milwaukee on Saturday, trailing by 31 at halftime and never competing with the Bucks.
