Away: Phoenix Suns (27-17, 13-12 Away)

Projected Starting Five:

  • Devin Booker
  • Jalen Green
  • Dillon Brooks
  • Royce O’Neale
  • Mark Williams

After starting their current road trip with back-to-back losses, Devin Booker and the Suns eked out three consecutive wins, as they clobbered teams from the Atlantic Division one after another. They took down the New York Knicks (106-99), Brooklyn Nets (126-117) and Philadelphia 76ers (116-110) in succession before this rematch against the Hawks. 

In the first meeting with Atlanta, Dillion Brooks dropped 34 points, while Booker had 27 points, albeit in a 123-122 loss at home. Phoenix will look to put the clamps on the Hawks, who shot 53 FG% then, this time around. On the season, the Suns are fourth in the NBA overall with a 112.2 defensive rating.

Phoenix is 6-4 straight-up and 7-3 against the spread in its last 10 games away from home.

Home: Atlanta Hawks (21-25, 7-13 Home)

Projected Starting Five:

  • Dyson Daniels
  • Nickeil Alexander-Walker
  • Corey Kispert
  • Jalen Johnson
  • Onyeka Okongwu

Atlanta snapped a four-game losing skid with a 123-122 takedown of the Memphis Grizzlies on the road on Wednesday. Jalen Johnson went off for 32 points on 10/21 shooting from the floor and grabbed 15 boards to go with eight assists in the win over Memphis. 

Meanwhile, CJ McCollum and Luke Kennard had 15 and 18 points, respectively, off the bench. Scoring hasn’t been much of a problem for the Hawks, even though Trae Young barely played with them before they traded him to the Washington Wizards, and the fact that Kristaps Porzingis has barely seen action for them this season. 

Phoenix knows that, as Onyeka Okongwu had 27 points in the first meeting. Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 26 points in that contest, while Jalen Johnson put up 25 points. And for what it’s worth, Atlanta’s November win over the Suns ended Phoenix’s five-game win streak.

The Hawks are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games against Phoenix.
