Atlanta beat Phoenix 105-96 very early in the season at the Phillips Arena. The Hawks are not putting many wins on the board lately (just one in their last six) despite losing a pair to Portland by a combined three points over the last week.
Phoenix’s long-range shooters seem to have taken the day off on Sunday in Chicago, as they made just five shots from beyond the arc (they had 50 in the previous four games). Meanwhile, five three-pointers would have been an above-average night for the Atlanta crew, which doesn’t have the downtown shot in their arsenal to make up larger deficits.
And they may to do just that; Atlanta is last in the league in scoring on the road, at a paltry 88.9 ppg. And Phoenix is #1 in the NBA with 112.5 points at home. With a revenge motive and a team that is now starting to cover numbers (6-1 ATS in their last seven), the Phoenix Suns make this a bad matchup for Atlanta.
That’s why we side with the Suns, the nine-point favorite in the Top Sportsbooks NBA betting odds.
