Atlanta Hawks / Phoenix Suns – Under 221.5
The Atlanta Hawks will travel to the Footprint Center to take on the Phoenix Suns this Saturday night and I’m loving the Under in this matchup.
Atlanta comes into this game losing 4 of their last 5 games and the offense hasn’t looked good as of late as in those 4 losses, the Hawks are averaging just 102.8 ppg. The Hawks are just 1-4 on the road, averaging just 102 ppg and I just don’t expect those numbers to improve tonight as Atlanta ranks just 26th in pace.
Phoenix is a decent offensive team that is averaging 108.7 ppg, however, the points have been tougher to come by this season as this is about 6 points less than what we saw from this team last year.
Under is 5-1 in the Hawks last 6 Saturday games and 9-3 in the Hawks last 12 games as an underdog. Under is 4-1 in the Suns last 5 games as a home favorite and 6-2 in the Suns last 8 games overall.
I think Atlanta continues to struggle on the road in this one and as I just think this total is set way too high, I think this game crushes the Under. Good Luck!
