Utah Jazz vs Atlanta Hawks: Preview, predictions, injury report and TV info for tonight's matchup
NBAFriday, 15 March 2024 at 22:00
The last game scheduled for this NBA Friday will be featuring the Atlanta Hawks, led by Dejounte Murray, playing against Collin Sexton's Utah Jazz. Atlanta is looking to remain in that 10th spot that gives them the right to enter the play-in tournament.
The Hawks will be the visiting team. Atlanta has the most at stake in this game. Right now, they are 10th in the Eastern Conference with a 29-36 record and, although Brooklyn Nets is not too far (26-40 record), the team led by Quinn Snyder must break their current losing streak to avoid getting into more trouble and being left out of the playoffs at the end of the regular season.
The Jazz, meanwhile, are out of any playoff aspirations this season. The Salt Lake City franchise sits 12th in the Western Conference with a 28-37 record. With the Golden State Warriors occupying the last play-in spot with a 34-31 record, it is virtually impossible to pull off a miracle at this point of the Regular Season.
