Utah Jazz vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction

The Jazz are still missing Kevin Love, Elijah Harkless, and Keyonte George, while the Hawks are keeping an eye on Onyeka Okongwu and Kristaps Porzingis, who are both listed as questionable for this meeting. The line is certainly hefty for this matchup, but not at all surprising given how much the Jazz have been struggling lately compared to the Hawks, who have sprung to life despite all the trade distractions.

The Jazz were able to earn a much-needed win in their last outing, but I think they’ll go on another losing streak starting in this game, with the Hawks taking it by double digits at home.
