The Jazz will look to snap a four-game losing streak when they travel to face the Knicks on New Year’s Day.

At 7-24, the Jazz own the second-worst record in the West and are tied with the Charlotte Hornets and the Toronto Raptors for the second-fewest wins in the NBA.

The Knicks meanwhile own the NBA’s second-longest winning streak at eight games, including Monday’s blowout victory over the Washington Wizards.

At 23-10, the Knicks own the third-best record in the East and the fourth-best record in the NBA overall.

New York’s 120.1 offensive rating ranks second in the NBA, while their 112.0 defensive rating ranks 14th.
