The current betting odds have the Suns listed as a 3.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Suns have looked really good in their games this season with their 28-20 record overall which has them surging up the standings in the West as they fight for a playoff spot. They haven't been a bad road team this season either with their 14-9 road record and they have been one of the hottest teams in the NBA over the last month. Meanwhile, the Hawks have looked terrible in their games this season with their 20-27 record overall which has them near the bottom of the East right now and well out of a playoff spot. They haven't even looked that good in their home games either with their 10-13 home record this season. They have been getting hot lately with 2 wins in a row now but they also beat 2 teams who have struggled to keep themselves over .500 all season. The Suns got off to a very rough start this season as they were dealing with a lot of injuries and couldn't stay healthy. Now they are fully healthy though and they have looked a lot better in their games as Durant, Booker, and Beal have been finding their rhythm together on the court. The Suns are looking to make up for their bad start to the season and still get a high seed in the West and they have a lot of momentum of their own right now with 2 wins in a row now, starting to get back on a roll again. The best way to place a bet here is on the Suns to cover the spread in this game.
