Hawks at Suns: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Suns 119, Hawks 106
Money line (ML)
The Suns (-250) will cost you two-and-a-half times your potential return, and that’s just too much. Look to the spread instead. AVOID.

Against the spread (ATS)
The SUNS -6.5 (-110) are a strong play laying the points on their home hardwood. They’re 19-7 ATS across the past 26 as a favorite, and 21-8 ATS over the previous 29 outings. In addition, they have bounced back nicely after non-covers, going 7-0 ATS in the past seven following an ATS loss.
The Hawks +6.5 (-110) are coming off a 126-102 beating in Denver, not even coming close to covering as a five-point underdog. They’re 1-3 SU/ATS on the past four games on the road, and they just don’t seem to match up with some of the better Western Conference teams. The road trip will get worse, as the Suns rough them up by double digits in the Valley.
Over/Under (O/U)
The OVER 222.5 (-110) is the slight lean here. Atlanta has really struggled defensively, including 126 points allowed last time out. They have coughed up 108 or more in each of the past four, with the Over hitting in three of those games. The Over is 6-2 in Atlanta’s past eight on the road, too.
