Additionally, in the Hawks’ 127-113 road loss versus the Warriors, guard Trae Young scored a team-high 28 points in 32 minutes played. Forward John Collins ended his performance with 19 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.0 assist in 31 minutes of action as well. Atlanta had a season-high 65 points in the first half. Though, their shortcomings caught up with them. The Hawks were outscored 44 to 30 in the paint. And, Atlanta was outscored 41 to 20 in the third quarter.

In their fourteen-point loss, the Hawks shot 38-for-82 (46.3%) from the field and 17-for-43 (39.5%) from three-point range. Plus, the Hawks’ losing streak is now extended to four games. After their sixth road loss of the season, they are 1-6 away and 0-7 ATS away. This will entice gamblers to pick their opponent to cover the spread in road matches.

Furthermore, on Sunday, in Utah’s 107-100 upset loss against the Magic, center Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell led their team in scoring, finishing their performances with 21 points each. Gobert also closed out his showing with 15 rebounds and 1.0 assist in 34 minutes played. For a simple, unbiased analysis, the Jazz had no business losing this game.

They shot 34-for-89 (38.2%) from the floor and 8-for-42 (19%) from behind the arc. In addition to out-rebounding the Magic 50 to 39, they were outscored 32 to 15 in the fourth quarter. Their fifteen-point fourth quarter effort held back them, too. While the Jazz are on a two-game losing streak, the Hawks are playing worse. Utah is 3-0 at home and 2-1 ATS at home.

Projected starting lineup

Hawks: PG Trae Young | SG Bogdan Bogdanovic | SF De’Andre Hunter | PF John Collins | C Clint Capela

Jazz: PG Mike Conley | SG Donovan Mitchell | SF Bojan Bogdanovic | PF Royce O’Neale | C Rudy Gobert
