Atlanta Hawks at Phoenix Suns Prediction
Atlanta’s performances as of late does not warrant the amount of points they spot here. Many will revere Atlanta’s remarkable front court which features Paul Millsap and Dwight Howard but the Suns will work around this and circumvent these two by doing what they do best…placing the ball in the hands of Bledsoe and Booker and letting them score. Be that the Suns own a rebounding edge against the Hawks, Phoenix will look to work this angle as it has worked for them against Indiana, Portland and Detroit already this season. In addition, Atlanta commits more turnovers than Phoenix which again plays in to Phoenix’s hands. You don’t want to give this offense second chances to hurt you.

Take Phoenix +5.5
