Hawks at Suns Prediction ATS 1/2/18
This is an ugly game matching two teams that are a combined 24-50 on the season. That said, both teams are playing better in recent games, but with the home line being offered up at less than a basket, the home side appears to hold the most value. I’m not a big trend guy, but the home side has won the last five in this series. Atlanta has played tough in recent games on the road, but I look for Phoenix to come out focused after their disaster against Philly.
