The Hawks have played excellent basketball this year but they have dropped their last 2 games this season despite being at home and favored in both. Atlanta has still managed to cover the spread in 6 of their last 10 games and the Hawks have now gone under the total in 3 of their last 4.
Phoenix has been a bit inconsistent this season but they’ve now won 3 of their last 5 games including 2 outright wins during that stretch when Las Vegas had them as the underdog. The Suns have covered the odds in just 2 of their last 8, however, but have won outright in 3 of their last 6 road games. The under has hit in 7 of Phoenix’s last 10 games despite the fact that the Suns have actually been playing some higher-scoring games recently that seemingly were not in the cards during the early part of the year.
