The Magic (37-18, 27-25-3 ATS) are 8-2 in their last 10 games. They have been nearly as good against the spread in that span, however, going a lacklustre 5-4-1 ATS over the same stretch. Orlando is 5-5 ATS in its last 10 home games.
Team records:
Atlanta: 34-18 SU, 33-19 ATS
Phoenix: 32-23 SU, 29-25-1 ATS
Matchup: Hawks at Suns
Time: 8:00 p.m. ET
Venue: US Airways Center
Spread: Hawks -3.5
Over/Under: 212
Atlanta (34-18, 33-19 ATS) has won four of its last five games straight up. The Hawks are 3-2 ATS in that span, but they’ve had a rough time against the lines in their past 10 games, going 5-5. Atlanta has covered its last two games away from home, although the Hawks are 5-5 ATS in their past 10 games on the road.
Phoenix (32-23, 29-25-1 ATS) was the talk of the trade deadline despite not making a move. For months—years, really—Amare Stoudemire has had his name tossed around in trade rumors, but the All-Star forward isn’t going anyway. He’s averaging 25.0 points and 11.8 points per game this month. Phoenix, meanwhile, has lost two of its last three games, though the team is 6-2 in its last eight.
The Suns are also an impressive 6-2 ATS. Playing at home has been an issue, though, with the team going 3-7 against the spread in its last 10 home games.
The Suns have won seven of their last 10 games straight up against Atlanta, though the teams have split their past 10 meetings against the spread. The Suns have covered three of the past four against Atlanta.
THE PICK
Phoenix has played well in recent history against Atlanta but, for whatever reason, the Suns can’t get it going at home. They’ve also slumped over their past few games. Bet on Atlanta to keep it close and get the cover.
