The Utah Jazz will begin a three-game road trip when they travel to Philips Arena to face the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night. The Jazz are 13 games below .500 on the road this season and are 4.5 games off the pace for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. On Saturday, Utah scored 76 points during the first half of an easy 125-113 home victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. The Jazz outrebounded the Clippers by a 62-37 margin and shot 55 percent from the field.
Rookie Donovan Mitchell led six Utah players in double figures with 23 points and seven assists. Rudy Gobert contributed 16 points and seven rebounds for the Jazz.

The Atlanta Hawks have just 13 victories on the season, tying them with Orlando and Sacramento for the worst record in the league. The Hawks have nine wins at home and rank 5th in the league in assists per game. On Saturday, Atlanta fell behind by 17 points at halftime of a 113-97 home loss versus Chicago. The Hawks missed 37 of their 48 three-point attempts and shot a dismal 38 percent overall.

Dennis Schroder tallied a team high 18 points and five assists. The rest of Atlanta’s starters combined to score 27 points on a combined 10-for-29 shooting effort.

Utah F Rodney Hood (leg) did not play on Saturday and is listed as questionable for this matchup. The Jazz rank higher than the Hawks in offensive and defensive efficiency, but their inability to win on the road has been undeniable. Take Atlanta to win on Monday. Final Score Prediction, Atlanta Hawks win outright as underdog and easily cover ATS 106-100.
