Hawks vs Jazz Prediction
The Jazz aren’t fielding an NBA roster these days and aren’t trying to win, so they’re going to be big underdogs nightly. However, that doesn’t mean I’m running to the window to lay all of these points with a bad / subpar Hawks squad that’s on the end of a back-to-back. The Hawks have lost five of their last six games overall, and they’ve outright two of their last four games as a favorite. The Hawks just aren’t a serious team, and they’re just .500 at home this season. This isn’t a game I’d touch personally, but give me the Jazz and the points if forced to pick.
