Suns at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 122, Hawks 115

Moneyline

The SUNS (-165) are a strong play as moderate favorites in this rematch from last Thursday. Phoenix enters on a 3-game win streak, kicked off by the victory against Atlanta Thursday.

The Hawks (+140) are skidding with 4 losses in the past 5 outings, although this isn’t a slam-dunk play. Atlanta has won each of the past 3 games on its home floor, so tread lightly.

Against the spread

The SUNS -3.5 (-115) are worth a look to get the job done by a pair of buckets. There is plenty of risk here, as Phoenix is just 5-12-1 ATS in the past 18 games.

However, the Hawks +3.5 (-105) have failed to cover the past 5, including against the Suns.

Over/Under

OVER 235.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

For Atlanta, the Over is 3-1-1 in the past 5 games, and 7-2-2 in the previous 11 outings.

For Phoenix, the Under is 3-1-1 in the previous 5 contests, while going 8-1-2 across the past 11 outings. That lone Over was against the Charlotte Hornets last time out Sunday.
