Utah Jazz
The Jazz beat the Hawks on Thursday night, 111–106, but failed to cover or push the game over the total, which means we cashed the Hawks with the under.

Atlanta had a six-point lead early in the fourth quarter but saw the lead dwindle away. It isn’t difficult to come from behind against a team that doesn’t play defense and the Jazz got some fourth quarter buckets that were way too easy, even by NBA regular season standards.
Donovan Mitchell had thirty; Rudy Gobert had twenty; and Bojan Bogdanovic scored nineteen for Utah, which spared us the Mike Conley drama.
The veteran point guard sat with what is being described as a hamstring issue. He’s “expected to miss multiple games,” which sounds like just what it is: he’s going to sit down for a while and try to get his “hamstring” and his play right for a man who is making nearly $35 million this season and next.
Royce O’Neal started at forward in Conley’s place and Joe Ingles, who had 14/7/5 (assists) in the backcourt next to Mitchell.
Emmanuel Mudiay played nineteen minutes and scored ten points with four rebounds. Right now, that’s an upgrade for Utah over Conley.
It would just be Atlanta and Charlotte but for the Jazz, two road wins in a row would be a welcome string of events.
Charlotte Hornets
And at least at the moment, the Hornets aren’t on the Hawks’ basement level. Charlotte has been one of the nice surprises in the first half of the NBA season and is one of the strong contenders to be the first to to over its season win total.
Devonte’ Graham might only be shooting barely over thirty-seven percent on his two-point attempts this season but he’s still Charlotte’s best player by virtue of his strong three-point shooting (.403) and all-around game.
Graham, in his second professional season out of Kansas, is averaging over seven assists per game and plays good defense, like most guards who pass through Coach Bill Self’s program in Lawrence.
Behind Graham and Terry Rozier, who has managed to coexist alongside the Hornets’ breakout star in the backcourt, the Hornets have won four of their last six. Rozier scored a career-high thirty-five points in Charlotte’s most recent two-point loss in Cleveland.
Given that the Jazz is a little thin in the backcourt, Graham and Rozier, who both have games predicated on speed, could be a problem for Utah.
Then again, the Hornets start a bulky front line of Bismack Biyombo, Miles Bridges and Cody Zeller. Two of those three will have to contend with the quicker Royce O’Neal and Bojan Bogdanovic.

Free Utah Jazz vs. Charlotte Hornets NBA Prediction: Charlotte doesn’t go away.
Much like Utah’s game in Atlanta, this handicapper doesn’t expect the Jazz to get much separation, if any at all.
How Charlotte does against Rudy Gobert will go a long way in determining the outcome of this one. The Hornets have multiple bodies to throw at him, or at least multiple bodies that can try to slow him down. If they keep Gobert off the offensive glass, they have a pick’em’s chance to win this one.
