Kessler only played 5 games before being reimbursed for the season. Mykhailiuk averaged 10.3 points per game. Only these four players in the team averaged double figures per game, and they scored relatively few points. Bailey, the No. 5 pick, has recently recovered in competitive form after experiencing a slump at the beginning of the season. He has scored in double figures in three consecutive games recently. He just scored a career-high 20 points in the last game, which is good news for the team.
The Hawks are playing back-to-back games. In their last game, they just defeated the Kings with 33 points in the away team. They have recently won 3 consecutive victories, and they were all against Western Conference teams. Their competitive state has obviously improved, with a record of 7 wins and 5 losses, ranking fifth in the Eastern Conference. The Hawks averaged 115.8 points per game, ranking 11th in the Eastern Conference, and conceded only 112.7 points per game, ranking second in the Eastern Conference and fourth in the league. Their defensive level has improved significantly this season.
With Trae Young missing consecutively, Jaylen Johnson has become the core of the team, averaging 20.1 points, 8.6 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.3 interceptions per game.

Okongwu, Risashe, Krejic, Daniels, Kennard and others all average more than 8 points per game. With the addition of Gueye, Newell and others, the team's scoring points are very scattered and they often have multiple attacks.
In the last 10 meetings between the two teams, the Jazz had a slight advantage with 6 wins and 4 losses, but last season the Hawks completed a double kill against the Jazz. In this game, the physical fitness of the Eagles, who are playing back-to-back games, will be affected to a certain extent. However, because the score difference was widened early in the game against the Kings, the core players did not play for long. They will strive for 4 consecutive victories in this game. In terms of injuries, the Hawks' Trae Young and Dulicic are absent. The Jazz's Kessler, Hendricks, Kyle Lee and Niang are absent.
