Atlanta Hawks vs Phoenix Suns Betting Preview
Hawks defensive woes
In the latest loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, they were unable to slow down the Lakers offense. The defense just is not quite there in the biggest of NBA matchups. On the offensive side, the Hawks saw six guys score double digits. Jalen Johnson was the top scorer with 25 points, while Bogdan Bogdanovic scored 17.
Johnson is questionable in this game, as he left the game with an ankle injury. Dejounte Murray is the top scorer of the season for Atlanta. The guard is scoring 22.1 points per game. He is taking the place of Trae Young, who is out with a finger injury. He was scoring more than 26 per game before he went out.
Atlanta will host Charlotte on Saturday and Boston on Monday. After that, the Hawks remain home and take on Portland, Boston, and Milwaukee. The next game for the Hawks on the road is at Chicago on April 1st.
Suns Big Three Ready to Roll
The Suns also did not play defense in their last game. They allowed 140 points to the Bucks. On the offensive side though, three guys score 23+ points. The big three of Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant, and Devin Booker. Beal led the way with 28.
On the season, Durant is slightly ahead of Booker. Durant is scoring 27.8 and Booker is at 27.2 per game. Grayson Allen, Eric Gordon, and Jusef Nurkic are the three behind those three in an effort to form the first six for Phoenix. Allen was the leading scorer in the win on Tuesday, with Nurkic recording a team-high in rebounds.
The Suns are playing their second of back-to-back home games. Phoenix will go on the road starting Saturday and play five straight road games. The first two are in San Antonio, and then they will head to Denver, Oklahoma City, and New Orleans. The next home game is on April 3rd against Cleveland.
