The Atlanta Hawks will host the Utah Jazz for this Sunday evening NBA matchup. The Hawks are currently sitting eighth in the Eastern Conference at 36-41 while the Jazz are dead last in the West at 16-62. Here’s our match prediction.

The Hawks come into this one on the second day of a home back-to-back. They were beaten convincingly 121-105 at home to the Knicks yesterday as they allowed New York to shoot 51.2% from beyond the arc.

Atlanta have hit a rough stretch of form at the worst possible time as they battle for positioning in the play-in tournament. They find themselves with a slim one-game lead over the ninth-placed Bulls and trailing seventh-place Orlando by 1.5 games.

The defeat yesterday marked the third in a row for the Hawks and the fifth from their last six outings overall.

The Jazz continue to tank as they seek the first pick in the upcoming 2025 NBA Draft. Unsurprisingly, they were blown out 140-112 on the road by the Indiana Pacers on Friday.

Utah has now lost its last eight games in a row as well as 18 of their last 19 as they have recorded the most losses in franchise history. The visitors will be without their two leading scorers (Markkanen and Collins) as well as defensive anchor Walker Kessler.
