Jazz vs. Hawks Best Bet

The Jazz remain an underrated threat in the West as Lauri Markkanen recently earned his first All-Star bid and Malik Bealey ranks fourth in the NBA in three-point makes (165). Utah enters Friday night 6-2 against the spread (ATS) in its last eight games overall and 5-1 ATS in its last six home games.

Atlanta is 0-5 ATS in its last five games against Utah and has not taken down the Jazz since March of 2019. Keep in mind the last six wins for the Jazz in the series have come by an average of 14.2 points. Playing at home makes a true impact in the NBA and the Jazz will prove that with a victory on Friday.
