Utah Jazz vs. Atlanta Hawks Betting Analysis
The Jazz and Hawks are two of the youngest and most exciting teams this league has to offer, as everyone on the roster, top to bottom, play hard each and every possession and truly enjoys playing with one another.
The key matchup to watch in this game is Trae Young and Collin Sexton, as both guards will go after it on each and every possession, which will determine a lot of the Jazz vs Hawks betting analysis.
Utah Jazz
Jazz betting picks have this team in a great spot, as their recent winning ways suggest that this team is for real, not just an early-season cinderella story.
Jazz NBA Team Stats
The Jazz put up great all-around NBA team stats, especially in the scoring category with all of the scorers this team has.
Lauri Markkanen has led the way all season long, but Collin Sexton, Jordon Clarkson, Mike Conley, Kelly Olynyk, and Malik Beasley are all more than capable of putting points up on the board.
Atlanta Hawks
The Hawks will be quick to put points up the board, too, especially when Trae Young is hitting all of his 3-pointers.
Dejounte Murray is exactly who the Hawks have needed, as he can take a ton of the playmaking pressures off of Young while taking on the role of the primary on-ball defender against opposing guards and forwards.
Murray can also help fill the open lanes that are provided when the Hawks have all of their best shooters out there.
NBA Injury Report
The only player dealing with an injury for the Jazz right now is Jarred Vanderbilt, as he’s missed his last two games.
As for the Hawks, it’s unknown if Trae Young will be able to play in this one, as he’s dealing with a shin injury and missed Monday’s game.
Utah Jazz vs. Atlanta Hawks Betting Preview
Both of these teams should be expected to score the ball at a high rate but also look to move the ball around, as there are a plethora of options to go around on both teams.
The game will likely come down to who can get hotter, Trae Young or Lauri Markkanen.
Utah Jazz vs. Atlanta Hawks Betting Prediction
There’s something magical going on in Utah right now, as they were supposed to be firmly in the Victor Wembanyama sweepstakes.
However, the youth has stepped up their play more than expected, and the vets around them are playing their roles to perfection.
With that said, our Jazz vs Hawks betting analysis leans towards the Jazz winning this game.
