Why the Hawks can cover

Atlanta was without leading scorer Trae Young on Monday, but it was still able to hand Milwaukee its first loss of the season in a 117-98 final. Young participated in pregame warmups before being held out due to right shin soreness, and he could return on Wednesday night. Point guard Dejounte Murray picked up the slack, scoring 25 points, dishing out 11 assists and grabbing eight rebounds in the win. 

Rookie small forward AJ Griffin had the best game of his young career, pouring in 24 points on 10 of 15 shooting off the bench. Forward John Collins and center Clint Capela have been giving teams issues in the paint, combining to average more than 20 points and nearly 20 rebounds per game. Atlanta has been nearly untouchable at home of late, going 17-3 in its last 20 home games. 

Why the Jazz can cover

Utah comes into this game as the Western Conference leader following its 139-116 win over the Lakers on Monday. The Jazz swept the two-game series with Atlanta last season and have won five straight meetings between these teams. They have six players who are averaging double figures, which gives them more depth than an Atlanta team that relies on Young and Murray for its scoring.

Lauri Markkanen paces Utah with 21.9 points per game and has already recorded five double-doubles this season, matching the number he had in the previous two years combined. Atlanta could be without Young again on Wednesday, and Bogdan Bogdanovic is still out due to a right knee injury. The Jazz have covered the spread in each of their last six games and are not a team to be fading right now.
