A thrilling game between the Hawks vs Jazz, two teams that are in the play-in zone in their respective conferences, will take place this Friday, February 3, 2023, as the 2022–2023 NBA regular season continues to inch closer to the All-Star Game break.
With Wednesday’s game versus the Suns excluded, the Hawks have dropped two straight games and have generally been one of the Eastern Conference’s disappointments. The Jazz have been among the campaign’s biggest surprises and have continued to defy all preseason projections made about them.

Betting on the Atlanta Hawks
- Regular Season Record: 25-26
The Hawks had hoped that with the arrival of Dejounte Murray the team would make a noticeable jump in quality; however, the performance of the roster has been an absolute disappointment and they are currently clinging to a spot in the Play-In tournament.
The team’s poor results could trigger several changes before the deadline and the players who are in trade rumors are: Clint Capela, John Collins, Bojan Bogdanovic and Justin Holiday. Morover, Coach Nate McMillan contemplated resigning a few weeks ago and his tenure with the organization after this season is not guaranteed.
Betting on the Utah Jazz
- Regular Season Record: 26-26
Every time it looks like the Jazz are going to deflate and fall into a slump, the team responds and put themselves back in contention for a playoff spot.
Utah has won six of its last 10 games and for now it is unclear if general manager Danny Aingle will trade veterans like Jordan Clarkson, Kelly Olynyk, Mike Conley and Malik Beasley to name just a few.
Lauri Markkanen finished January with stellar averages of 28.5 points, 9 rebounds, 48.7% shooting from the field and 44% three-point shooting. So, it’s almost a given that he will win the Most Improved Player of the season award.
JefeBet Prediction
The Utah Jazz defeated the Atlanta Hawks 125-119 in the previous meeting between the two teams, in a game in which Finland’s Markkanen was the star with 32 points and 8 rebounds.
Trae Young and Markkanen will undoubtedly put on strong individual performances in this game, which is why at JefeBet we are leaning towards the Over, as it did in the game played in Atlanta last November. For this occasion, we anticipate a very close game but with many points.
Prediction: Over.
