Preview: Hawks host red-hot Jazz, aim to avoid three-game skid Share this story UPDATE: Trae Young is OUT for Thursday’s game. The Utah Jazz are one of the hottest teams in the NBA, riding the wave of 12 victories in the last 13 games. One of the wins came at home against the Atlanta Hawks in mid-January and, a few weeks later, the Hawks will aim to return the favor on Thursday evening at State Farm Arena. Utah blitzed Atlanta to the tune of a 24-point margin in the first meeting, and the Jazz also have a rest advantage in this match-up. The Hawks fell at the hands of the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday, while the Jazz had Wednesday off to travel to Atlanta. In addition to that inherent edge for the visitors, Utah is playing at a very high level overall.
