Jazz at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 115, Hawks 112

Moneyline

PASS.

I honestly like the Jazz (+120) to win here due to key injuries for Atlanta, but I believe Utah's odds are better on the spread. I also believe this would be a very risky bet, as Utah has been cold lately and is a terrible road team (9-20).

Against the spread

LEAN JAZZ +2.5 (-110).

Utah is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 matchups vs. Atlanta and covered the spread against the Spurs last time out. Utah is also 3-0 straight up and ATS in the last 3 meetings in Atlanta. The Jazz have been the better team ATS this season at 32-26, while the Hawks are 18-39.

With Young and Okongwu out, this does strengthen Utah's odds of covering here as a slight underdog.

This is only a lean because the Hawks have been very good ATS lately.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 237.5 (-110).

The Under has hit in back-to-back games for Utah and is 3-1 in Utah's last 4 vs. an Eastern Conference opponent. For Atlanta, the Under has hit in 3 consecutive games and is 4-1 in its last 5 outings. The Under has also hit in 6 of the last 7 Utah-Atlanta matchups.

This is only a lean because the Over has been safer for both teams this season.
