The New York Knicks host the Utah Jazz Friday night and while they have a mostly lean bill of health, the Knicks are also prepared to call upon their G-League depth to help bolster out the roster. 

New York is 14-7 so far this season, good for first place in the Atlantic Division, and they are coming off of a win against the Charlotte Hornets. The Big Three of Jalen Brunson, Karl Anthony-Towns and Mikal Bridges have formed an elite squad both offensively and defensively that have carried the Knicks to success. 

The Jazz, on the other hand, have struggled so far this season to a 8-13 record. Lauri Markkanen has led the way for Utah in terms of scoring, but an overall lack of impactful depth has led to the Jazz to an inability to close out big games. Despite this, the Jazz have won their last two games and will look to carry that momentum through to an upset of one of the NBA's best teams.

OG Anunoby (hamstring) is QUESTIONABLE for Friday's game. Anunoby hasn'tplayed in a game since Nov. 14 due to a left hamstring strain, but an upgrade to questionable status for him represents a trend in the right direction.
