Atlanta Hawks vs Phoenix Suns

The Atlanta Hawks attempted to subvert expectations in the backcourt with the Dejounte Murray project, but now, it’s Trae Young once again atop the food chain, even with Jalen Johnson injured.

That has not been a golden formula in Atlanta of course, but Young indeed scored the miracle shot against the Utah Jazz on Tuesday for a 24 points and 20 assist night and he should have another shooting heavy game tonight.

Since Phoenix Suns seem shaky now, I am going for the Over on Trae’s points and assists bet. He is 3 of 4 in this 37.5 O/U number in the last five games while being the focal point of the offense.

It’s a massive total nonetheless; Young has attempted 44 free throws in this five-game road stretch and has knockeddown 21 threes in that string. He can go outside and shoot over Ryan Dunn who recently began starting for the hosts and on the other hand he will cause fits when trapping on pick and rolls against Mason Plumlee and Jusuf Nurkic that Lillard will switch onto.

Off of that, the part of the prop that feels most steady has been Trae’s ability to create and make plays. But he has delivered double digit dimes in 10 out of 13 recent games and there is potential for matches in Phoenix as the Suns reshuffle on the fly.

All the pressure is placed on the Suns, and Young excels playing boogeyman in hostile territory. A lot of the Atlanta offense will be on him and I’m expecting a career performance out of him.

Dyson Daniels is one of the NBA’s great pickpockets and has collected steals in his four road games with at the minimum of two. He even produced an eight steal sensitivity against Minnesota Timberwolves last month.

If the Suns are reckless with the ball, Daniels is in a good position to take advantage. Devin Booker should anticipate seeing a Daniels-shaped shadow for significant minutes tonight as Phoenix has committed at least 11 turnovers in six consecutive games.

I anticipate a response from Phoenix tonight, despite the stuttering behind the scenes and the awkward play on the court. Because of Booker and Kevin Durant's combined firepower, I'm going with the Suns 1H moneyline for my SGP.

Despite the fact that Bogdan Bogdanovic is probably going to play, Atlanta is still lacking Johnson and has dropped three straight games before eking out a victory over Utah at a cost of 121 points.

The last game was won by the Atlanta Hawks 124-121. It traveled to Delta Center to play the Utah Jazz. De'Andre Hunter scored 17 points, Clint Capela scored 18, and Trae Young scored 24 points.

The Phoenix Suns have lost their last two home games. They lost to the Charlotte Hornets 115-104 at Spectrum Center in their most recent away game. Bradley Beal scored 10 points, Kevin Durant scored 26, and Devin Booker scored 39 points with 10 assists.

The Suns prevailed in their most recent meeting. enjoying a victory over the Hawks at Footprint Center, 128-115. In the last ten meetings between these two clubs, the Hawks have won six of them.
