Premium Pick

Atlanta won and covered both meetings last season and this is the first time these team have met in the 2018-19 campaign. The Hawks are in the middle of a long road trip and so far they have held their own, splitting the first four games, including victories at Chicago and the Los Angeles Clippers. Utah got blown out 132-105 at Portland on Wednesday as its defense broke down and allowed the Trail Blazers a .533 shooting percentage. The Trail Blazers scored 45 points in the first quarter and never looked back and it was the most points allowed by the Jazz all season.  Atlanta has covered six of the last eight meetings at Utah and the Hawks have covered the number in four of their last five games when following a loss. The Jazz have not been getting the money at home lately as it's 1-4-1 ATS its last six home contests. Utah doesn't bounce back well after a bad defensive effort with an 1-4-1 ATS record after allowing at least 125 points its previous game. Grab the points with the Hawks.
