Phoenix Suns vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction: the Hawks should not be underestimated

Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on January 10. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Phoenix Suns

The match with Charlotte was the apogee of Phoenix's failures this season, as the Hornets lost ten games in a row in the run-up to the duel with the Suns. However, Mike Budenholzer's team was not embarrassed by this fact, and gave the game to the Hornets - 104:115. At the same time, Phoenix's leaders showed themselves well - Devin Booker scored 39 points and made 10 assists. Kevin Durant has 26 points for efficiency. Bradley Beal and Jusuf Nurkic started the game again from the bench and it seems that their exchange to another team is inevitable in the very near future.

Phoenix already lost the eighth game in the stretch of the last ten and dropped to 12th place in the Western Conference standings. The Suns have a negative win-loss record of 16-19; and are 2.0 wins behind the top-10, the play-in zone.

Atlanta Hawks

The Hawks will play their sixth consecutive away game, and so far the tourney for Quin Snyder's team can't be called successful. Although it can't be called a failure either. First Atalanta confidently defeated Toronto (136:107), then lost to Denver (120:139), Los Angeles Lakers (102:119) and Los Angeles Clippers (105:131), but after that confirmed the status of favorite in the match with Utah (124:121).

In general, if Phoenix is one of the main disappointments of the first half of the current championship, Atlanta rather exceeds expectations. After losing several away games, the Hawks have fallen out of the top-6 at the moment, but are only 0.5 wins away from a direct playoff spot. Their overall win total is 19-18.

Expert Betting Tips

Phoenix approaches the upcoming match, according to the bookmaker line, in the status of a clear favorite, but the Suns have almost no wins for several weeks in a row. We believe that Atlanta is able to take advantage of the problems of the team from Arizona and at least keep a plus head start. In addition, we bet on the total over. Phoenix has difficulties with the offense, but Atlanta is one of the worst defenses this season.
