The Utah Jazz and the Atlanta Hawks duke it out at the State Farm Arena on Tuesday night. Here’s a Jazz vs Hawks Prediction.

Utah Jazz

The Utah Jazz have been doing it tough lately as they've lost eight of their last 11 games overall, but they will be feeling much better after arresting a five-game slide with a 128-109 home win over the Spurs on Sunday. Lauri Markkanen led the team with 26 points, seven rebounds and four assists, Jordan Clarkson added 22 points with 10 assists while John Collins chipped in with 20 points, eight rebounds and two blocks. As a team, the Jazz shot 51 percent from the field and 17 of 35 from the 3-point line as they took control early and were never in danger after after dominating the first half by 63-39. The only blemish from the otherwise dominant win was Keyonte George who shot just three of 13 from the field for his seven points.

Atlanta Hawks

Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks have been in decent shape as they've split their last eight games and they will be looking to stay hot after blowing past the Magic in a 109-92 home win on Sunday. Dejounte Murray led the team with 25 points, nine rebounds and 11 assists, Jalen Johnson added 21 points with 10 rebounds and seven assists, DeAndre Hunter scored 18 points while Bojan Bogdanovic chipped in with 17 points. As a team, the Hawks shot 45 percent from the field and 12 of 29 from the 3-point line as they struggled to get going, scoring just 19 points in the first quarter to trail going into halftime, before they flipped a switch and took over in the third quarter where they outscored the Magic by 38-19.

Jazz vs Hawks Prediction

The Jazz are still short handed with Otto Porter Jr still out, while the Hawks are still missing Trae Young and Onyeka Okongwu who are both injured. The Jazz were really struggling before their big win over the ice-cold Spurs on Sunday, while the Hawks are starting to heat up and they looked great in their dominant win over the Magic on Sunday. You couldn't back either side with any confidence these days, but with the line so short, I'm happy going with the Hawks to get the win at home.
