Hawks at Suns picks and predictions
Prediction
Suns 119, Hawks 115
Moneyline
BET SUNS (-120).
Phoenix has been playing well recently, and even if Young is active for the Hawks they have struggled to win games, especially on the road where they have a 12-15 record.
Against the spread
SUNS -1.5 (-112) is how I’d wager on the spread with the idea that they can win at home by at least 2 points. You can just take the moneyline for Phoenix if you aren’t confident in the spread hitting.
The Hawks have gone 2-3 ATS in their last 5 games and the Suns are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games.
Over/Under
Despite Booker not being on the court for the Suns, I still lean OVER 230.5 (-108). Both of these teams are top 14 in offensive rating and this could be a pace-up game for Phoenix.
The Hawks are 7-1 to the Over in their last 8 games overall, while the Suns have gone Over in each of their last 4 games against a team with a losing record. The Over is also 6-0 in the last 6 head-to-head meetings.
