Over\/Under: 197.5<\/strong><\/p>\nThe hometown Jazz (36-19, 33-18-3 ATS) are favorites after winning 17 of their last 19 games, including four straight. Utah has been very kind to bettors on NBA odds too, going 7-2-1 in their last 10 games against the spread while covering four consecutive games. The Jazz have been equally as effective at home, posting a 6-2-2 record in their past 10 games at EnergySolutions Arena.<\/p>\n
Utah\u2019s seventh-ranked offense relies on a number of players to carry the load. It\u2019s not uncommon to see a different player lead the stat sheet on a nightly basis; Carlos Boozer tops the team at 19.4 points per game (he also leads his teammates in rebounding at 11.2 per outing). Following closely behind is point guard Deron Williams, who\u2019s cranking out 18.3 points and 9.9 assists per night. Mehmet Okur, Andrei Kirilenko and Paul Millsap are also scoring in double figures. Check Kirilenko\u2019s status, though\u2014he\u2019s dealing with back spasms. Defensively, the Jazz are 12th\u00a0at 97 points per game; they\u2019ve held their opponents to less than 100 points in six straight.![\"Online](\"http:\/\/affiliates.commissionaccount.com\/processing\/impressions.asp?btag=a_3953b_41\")

Atlanta (34-20, 33-20 ATS) has hit a rough patch, losing three of its last four games\u2014with two of those losses coming on the road. The Hawks haven\u2019t faired any better against the spread; they\u2019re 4-6 ATS in their past 10 outings with three losses in their past four games. When travelling, Atlanta has covered just twice in its last seven games.<\/p>\n
Despite ranking 10th<\/sup> in points scored this season, Atlanta has struggled to put the ball in the hoop during the slump. In two of the losses the team averaged a paltry 78 points per game. Like Utah, the Hawks can hurt you with a variety of weapons; Joe Johnson, Jamal Crawford and Josh Smith are all averaging at least 15 points per game (Johnson leads the team at 21.6 PPG). At the other end of the floor, Atlanta has been just as strong as the Jazz. Opponents have scored at least 100 points just once in seven games against the Hawks.<\/p>\nUtah has topped Atlanta seven of the last 10 times they\u2019ve met, including a 6-4 record against the spread. The Hawks have won and covered the past two meetings, however.<\/p>\n
THE PICK<\/strong><\/p>\nEverything points in Utah\u2019s favor: they\u2019ve won 17 of 19, they\u2019re playing very well against the spread, they dominate at home and Atlanta is struggling. Bet on the Jazz.<\/p>\n
