Hawks at Suns: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Suns 115, Hawks 111
Money line (ML)
The Suns have actually lost two straight games in which they have been favored, but the Hawks have lost four of five overall. Phoenix is 3-1 at home this season, and Atlanta is missing several key players against a nearly healthy Suns squad. Take the SUNS -200.
Against the spread (ATS)
The Suns have been consistent in their performance against the spread. It mirrors their regular record. If they win the game, they cover. If they lose, they do not. This will be the first time in six games that the Hawks are not favored. They have covered the spread this year each time they have been the underdog. The Suns have lost and failed to cover the last two games in which they have been favored. Take the HAWKS +5.5 (-115)
Over/Under (O/U)
This total dropped quite a bit, but it’s still pretty risky. The Suns’ games have gone Over in four of five and the fifth game was one point short of a push. Atlanta’s games have gone Under in each of their last six games and in all but two this season. Neither they nor their opponents have scored more than 114 points in that six-game stretch. Take UNDER 228.5 POINTS (-105).
