The PLAY: Jalen Johnson (ATL) Over 32.5 Points + Assists vs Utah
First time NBA all-star Jalen Johnson goes for his third straight triple double tonight as the Hawks host a Jazz team that’s been active with trading before the deadline and could still be active today before tipoff of this game. We’re going to take Johnson to go over 32.5 points + assists with the Jazz allowing the most points and third most assists to opposing power forwards over the last 15 days. Utah’s defense has been abysmal for most of the season ranking dead last in defensive efficiency and allowing the most assists per game of any team in the NBA. It’s also worth noting that the Jazz allow the third most free throw attempts per game which Johnson can take advantage of attempting around six per game. In their first head-to-head meeting in Utah back on November 13 Johnson went off against the Jazz compiling 31 points and 14 assists on 10-19 shooting and 7-11 at the free throw line in a 132-122 win. The Hawks power forward hasn’t taken his foot off the gas since so let’s take Johnson to be the focal point of the Hawks offense tonight going over 32.5 points + assists against the Jazz playing their third straight road game in the last five days.
