Utah Jazz vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 02/05/26

The Utah Jazz enter this matchup as one of the league’s more explosive offensive teams, averaging 118.3 points per game while consistently pushing pace and creating early shot opportunities. That offensive success has translated directly into high scoring games against Atlanta, as Utah is averaging 122.0 PPG in head to head meetings with the Hawks this season. Their November matchup turned into a shootout, finishing 132 122, with Lauri Markkanen erupting for 40 points. While the Jazz remain vulnerable defensively and allow opponents to score at an elevated rate, their willingness to run, combined with efficient shooting, frequently forces games into track meets that favor inflated totals.

Atlanta profiles as an ideal opponent for another offensive heavy contest. The Hawks have consistently thrived in uptempo environments and have shown a tendency to elevate scoring against Utah, averaging over 130 points per game in their last three meetings with the Jazz. Even with roster adjustments around the trade deadline, Atlanta continues to prioritize spacing, ball movement, and aggressive scoring, rarely slowing games down for defensive control. Both teams feature multiple shot creators and limited defensive resistance, leading to extended possessions, fast transitions, and frequent trips to the free throw line. Given Utah’s pace, Atlanta’s offensive output in this matchup, and recent head to head results well north of typical totals, this game shapes up as another scoring heavy affair.
