Hawks vs Jazz Prediction

Another NBA inflated line. The Hawks should win this game, but I’m not laying this number. The Hawks will be undermanned after a trade, and they’re 9-14 SU at home. The Hawks aren’t some world beater. Yes, the Jazz aren’t winning games and have a long injury report, but they’re 27-24 ATS on the season. You’ve made money this season blindly backing the Jazz. This will be the 10th time since April that the Hawks are favorites of 7 or more points. I’m not doing it. It’s the Jazz or pass for me.
