Atlanta Hawks vs Utah Jazz prediction
This line has shifted heavily toward the Atlanta Hawks, and I'm following the bettors. The Utah Jazz have been in tank mode for a while now, and they're going to be without two of their best players in Markkanen and Clarkson. The Atlanta Hawks are still fighting for playoff positioning, and they're treading water despite being without Trae Young. The Hawks are 5-5 SU in their last 10 games, and they beat the Jazz a couple of weeks ago by 27 points. The Hawks have more to play for at this stage, and that's why I have to lay the bucket with them on the road.
