PREVIEW: The Atlanta Hawks (7-5) and Utah Jazz (4-7) meet Thursday at Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Hawks have won 3 straight and have covered in each contest , riding momentum from a 133-100 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday. Atlanta's offense thrives with elite spacing and ball movement, ranking first and second respectively, while their defense excels at forcing turnovers and limiting three-point quality. The Hawks have gone 5-2 without Trae Young , proving their depth can carry them even as injuries mount throughout the roster. Utah's offensive explosion against Indiana on Tuesday saw the Jazz drop 152 points, the fourth-highest point total in franchise history. However, Utah's defensive vulnerabilities are glaring—they rank 27th against three-point shooting and 26th against rim attacks. The Jazz snapped a three-game losing streak but remain just 2-6 over their last eight contests. Atlanta will be on the second night of a back-to-back following the Sacramento win, giving Utah a potential rest advantage at home.
