1.88Tip and bets
Phoenix did not live up to the fans' expectations at the start of the current championship. The team from Arizona with such indicators risks not getting into the playoffs directly. Atlanta is also particularly shining with results. It's high time for the Suns to improve their statistics in games with the Hawks. This time, Budenholzer's team will have to achieve a difficult victory with the support of their fans over a not very formidable opponent.
Our prediction is Phoenix win with a handicap of (-5.5) points including overtime at 1.76
Bet on individual total
Phoenix will put an almost optimal lineup on the court. With all the leaders on the court, the team from the Grand Canyon State shows decent efficiency this season. The average score is 111.8. And in home games it is a little higher - 112.1. And this time the Suns will be able to load the opponent's basket decently.
Our prediction is Phoenix's individual total over 23.5 points including overtime at 2.03
First half bet
Phoenix has lost the first half in four games against Atlanta out of five. The Suns basketball players will start the game against the Hawks in a not very good mood after an unsuccessful trip to North Carolina. There is no doubt that they will try to achieve victory in order to rehabilitate themselves before their fans. The players of Budenholzer's team will show who is the main one on the court from the first minutes of the match and will seize the initiative.
Our prediction is Phoenix win in the first half of the game for 1.53
