The Atlanta Hawks head into this one on a three-game winning streak, highlighted by the upset of the previously undefeated Milwaukee Bucks. Will Trae Young return for this one following a shin injury? Young's return would provide an additional lift for a team that does not lack firepower.
The Utah Jazz is the story of the young NBA season as they have shocked those around the NBA with a 9-3 start. Can the Jazz keep it up and upset the Atlanta Hawks on the road?
The betting odds and predictions are below:

Keep an eye on Trae Young's availability. Young is sensational every night he is on the court, but his availability is currently questionable.
Dejounte Murray continues to be ridiculous. Few players have been better all-around players in the NBA this season. Murray averages 22 points, eight assists, and six rebounds per game.
Clint Capela is close to averaging a double-double with nine points and ten rebounds per night. Capela provides a spark on the defensive side of the court as well.
John Collins and De'Andre Hunter bolster the Hawks' frontcourt with balance on both ends of the court.
Lauri Markkanen is playing like an All-Star. The Jazz big man is averaging 22 points and nine rebounds per game.
Jordan Clarkson is stepping up as a leader in the PG position. Clarkson averages 18 points, five rebounds, and five assists per game.
Mike Conley and Collin Sexton provide the spark the Jazz offense needs. The Jazz continue to rotate the three-guard lineup.

Utah Jazz vs. Atlanta Hawks Final Prediction
For the first time in a long time, I am straddling the fence. It's just this simple. If Trae Young is playing, he will give the Hawks the boost they need, so take the Hawks.
If Young is inactive, take the Jazz to cover and investigate the money line as the Jazz would pull off the win on the road.
Atlanta Hawks -3.5 (-110) (O/U 227.5, -110)
