Prediction

The Jazz are having a hot start of the season and are ranking #2 in offense in the league but haven't been able to play good defense as they're allowing 112 points per game. The Hawks have been on fire as well with Young and Murray leading the team in offense. Trae Young is still questionable and until he's confirmed to play I like the Jazz to cover the spread. Utah is 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS in the last 5 games against the Hawks. Take Utah.

PICK: Jazz +3.5 (-110)
