Utah Jazz Analysis
The Jazz are coming into this game with a 6-1 record overall and they are 3-1 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They only have 1 loss this season and have won their last 2 games straight since then, coming into this game on a 2 game winning streak. They won their last game against the Sacramento Kings 119-113 in a game that was back and forth in the first half but the jazz took the lead in the second half and maintained it for most of that half going on to win the game. Donovan Mitchell went off in that game as he led the team in points with 36 while Mike Conley also had a massive game with 30 points himself. Bojan Bogdanovic was also involved in the offense a lot with 20 points in that one. Those 3 players pretty much carried the offense in that game and carried the team to victory. Mitchell also led the team in assists in that game with 6 while Rudy Gobert led the team in rebounds with 20. Their offense is averaging 112.3 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 100.4 PPG against them. The Jazz opened their last game as a 10 point favorite with that line closing around 9.5 points while the point total opened at 220 and closed around 223.5 points.

Atlanta Hawks Analysis
The Hawks are coming into this game with a 4-3 record overall to start their season off and they are 3-0 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games but are coming into this game off of a win in their last game against the Washington Wizards which snapped a 2 game losing streak that they were on. They built up a steady lead in that game in the first quarter and in the third quarter which turned out to be too much for the Wiz to come back from. Trae Young led the team in points in that game with 26 while Clint Capela and Bogdan Bogdanovic were both next on the team with 16 points each. There was a solid effort for scoring from all of the starters in that game and they even got some support from their bench players as well. John Collins, Young, and Bogdanovic all led the team in assists in that game with 6 each while Capela led the team in rebounds with 12. Their offense is averaging 107.9 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 106.6 PPG against them. The Hawks opened their last game as a 6 point favorite and that line closed around 5.5 points while the point total opened at 224 and closed around 222 points. The Hawks covered the spread in that game winning it by 7 points while the game went over the total with 229 total points.
Jazz vs Hawks Prediction
The Jazz are coming into this game as a 1 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. They have had a much better start to their season than the Hawks have and have just been a much better team. The Hawks are a bit banged up for this game with some injuries while the Jazz will be pretty healthy with all of their stars. The Jazz are just too good right now so the best bet to place in this game is on the Jazz to cover the spread.

Notable Quotes
"Don and I kind of have a nonverbal communication. He looks up at me with his hands on his knees and I'm like, ‘I'll take the ball for a few possessions.‘" - Mike Conley on his relationship on the court with Donovan Mitchell.
"The first thing, it always starts with moving the ball. Moving the ball from side to side is always hard to guard in this league. We have guys that can contribute at a high level and we just wanted to make sure we were executing and putting guys in position where they can play their game. We continued to do that tonight. When we're playing that way, it's always easy to win." - John Collins on their win over the Wizards.
