The Utah Jazz snapped a six game losing streak with win on the road in New Orleans on Saturday, and they return home to host the red hot Hawks. Atlanta has won four of five, with the one loss coming at Golden State by a score of 109-105. Both these teams have been playing great defensively of late, and we should see a low scoring battle in Salt Lake City.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Hawks have been a good bet in previous trips to Utah, covering the spread in four of their last five. The majority of those games were low scoring, and the under is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings in Salt Lake City.

2. Defense - While it's Utah that is known to be the defensive powerhouse, Atlanta has actually held opponents under 90 points over their last five games. Utah boasts the NBA's 3rd ranked defense, allowing an average of 97.2 points per game. They've held opponents under 100 points in nine of their last 10 home games.

3. X-Factor - The Jazz have gone under in 24 of their last 35 games against Eastern Conference teams.

Selection: This is a play on the Hawks@Jazz to go UNDER the total (10*)
