Phoenix Suns at Atlanta Hawks Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
<b>Phoenix Suns </b>
</p>
<p>
Phoenix comes into this contest in full-blown tank mode as they are owners of a sixteen-game losing streak. Most recently, the Suns were in action on Thursday against the Cleveland Cavaliers in The Land, and they were polished 111-98 failing to cover as just a one-point underdog.

<p>
<b>Atlanta Hawks </b>
</p>
<p>
The Hawks also enter on a two-game losing streak that dates back to before the All-Star break. The Hawks were in action last night against the Detroit Pistons when they hosted Motor City in Atlanta. The game was a thriller settled by one basket in what was ultimately a 125-122 loss. Despite the defeat, the Hawks greened up as a five-point underdog in producing a cover.

Reasons To Back Phoenix<br />
</h2>
<p>
Despite a poor record (4-27 SU), a nasty losing skid, and the prospect of demoralization, the market is reluctant to give the Suns more than a bucket here in this contest which means that upset possibility actually is strong in this match-up. The Suns own an edge in the turnover department, and they are also up against an Atlanta team that sits dead last in scoring defense (118.3 points per game). With a playmaker like Devin Booker who averages 24.7 points per game along with 6.7 assists per contest, the Suns may find avenues to compete and win in the porous defense and sloppy play of Atlanta.

Reasons To Back Atlanta<br />
</h2>
<p>
The Hawks will have rest working against them here as they were immersed in a competitive contest that went the distance just last night. As for Phoenix, they have had an extra day to prepare for this contest and will be the fresher team. Moreover, Atlanta is clearly a team that should not be spotting points to anyone as they are rarely favored but have failed to cover in the last three incidents they were the one laying points.

Suns at Hawks Prediction 02/23/2019
We will go ahead and trade away the basket here to take the Suns outright on the Money Line. Though Phoenix has no true incentive to win this match we suspect that Atlanta’s accommodating defense will make it easy for the Suns to feel it is worth an earnest effort. Phoenix’s offense will find its stroke and end their losing streak at sixteen. The Suns get the W.
