Our Best Bet:
Atlanta Hawks -11.5 (-110)
The Jazz are down multiple key players and have shown no signs of life on either end of the floor. Meanwhile, the Hawks are still in the playoff hunt and play significantly better at home. With Atlanta’s fast-paced scoring and Utah’s non-existent defense, this sets up perfectly for a comfortable double-digit win. Expect the Hawks to come out fast and control this one from start to finish.
