The Phoenix Suns and the Atlanta Hawks duke it out at the State Farm Arena on Tuesday night. Here’s a Phoenix Suns vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction. This article will include a Phoenix Suns vs Atlanta Hawks Pick.

Phoenix Suns 

The Phoenix Suns have been a team on the rise as they've won four of their last five games and they will be eager for a fourth straight victory after sneaking past the Hornets in a 120-113 home win on Sunday. Devin Booker led the team with 30 points on 10 of 20 shooting, Kevin Durant added 27 points with eight rebounds and five assists while Bradley Beal chipped in with 15 points and six assists off the bench. As a team, the Suns shot 48 percent from the field and 17 of 41 from the 3-point line. The Suns struggled to slow the Hornets and looked to be in trouble when they trailed by 12 points in the third quarter before they dominated the fourth quarter by 27-15 to come away with the narrow win at home. The Suns will face the Wizards, Pistons, and Cavs following this one.

Atlanta Hawks 

Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks have been in a rut as they've lost four of their last five games, and because their last game got postponed, their last game was a 123-115 loss to the Suns on Thursday. Trae Young led the team with 21 points and seven assists, Bogdan Bogdanovic added 17 points off the bench while Dyson Daniels chipped in with 13 points. As a team, the Hawks shot 48 percent from the field and 15 of 32 from the 3-point line as they poured in 71 points in the first half to take the narrow lead. The Hawks could never recover after losing the lead in the third quarter where they scored just 20 points. The Hawks will take on the Bulls after this game.

Phoenix Suns vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction

The Suns could be shorthanded with Jusuf Nurkic and Grayson Allen both on the injury report, while the Hawks are keeping an eye on Bogdan Bogdanovic who is questionable for this one. The Suns have really sprung to life over the past five games or so, and they were able to put forth a real balanced scoring effort in their win over the Hornets on Sunday. In contrast, the Hawks have been headed in the opposite direction, but they should be well-rested for this one as they haven't played since Thursday. It's always hard to beat the same team twice in a row, but I think the Suns are playing well enough to get the win and cover at this short line.
