Utah Jazz Betting Preview
The Utah Jazz have been ice-cold as they've lost 18 of their last 19 games overall and they will be hoping to avoid a ninth straight defeat after getting trounced by the Pacers in a 140-112 road defeat on Friday. Collin Sexton led the team with 27 points on eight of 15 shooting, Johnny Juzang added 17 points while Isaiah Collier chipped in with 15 points and five assists. As a team, the Jazz shot just 37 percent from the field and 16 of 52 from the 3-point line as they got off to a solid start and poured in 34 points in the first quarter to take a narrow lead into halftime. However, their hard work went to waste in the fourth quarter where they got outscored by 42-18 to suffer yet another massive defeat.
Atlanta Hawks Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks have been in a slump as they've lost five of their last six games overall. They will be hoping to snap a three-game skid after getting routed by the Knicks in a 121-105 home defeat last night. Trae Young led the team with 16 points and nine assists, Caris LeVert and Terance Mann each scored 14 points while Georges Niang chipped in with 13 points off the bench. As a team, the Hawks shot 46 percent from the field and 14 of 45 from the 3-point line, but they failed to contain the Knicks early on. They were never really in the contest after getting outscored by an incredible 78-53 in the first half. The Hawks did rally in the fourth quarter to cut into the deficit, but the game was already lost once they fell behind by 34 points.
Why the Atlanta Hawks will win
- The Jazz have lost each of their last 18 road games following a loss.
- The favorites have won 18 of the Jazz's last 19 games.
- The Hawks have covered the spread in seven of their last eight games at State Farm Arena against Western Conference opponents that held a losing record.
- The Jazz have failed to cover the spread in four of their last five road games.
Why the Utah Jazz will win
- The Jazz have won three of their last four games as road underdogs against the Hawks.
- The Hawks have lost three of their last four games as home favorites when playing with a rest disadvantage.
- The Jazz have covered the spread in each of their last 11 night games against Southeast Division opponents.
- The Hawks have failed to cover the spread in seven of their last eight games at State Farm Arena when playing with a rest disadvantage.
Total Points Facts
- Six of the Hawks' last seven games as favorites have gone OVER the total points line.
- Four of the Jazz's last five games as underdogs against opponents who are on the second leg of a back-to-back have gone OVER the total points line.
Utah Jazz vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction
The Jazz are still depleted with Jordan Clarkson, John Collins and Lauri Markkanen still out, while the Hawks have ruled out Larry Nance Jr and Jalen Johnson once again. The Hawks were always going to be heavy favorites in this matchup, and I think it's completely warranted as the Hawks are playing for their season right now. So, I don't think they will miss out on a chance for a big win over a slumping Jazz team missing most of their best players.
