Hawks vs Suns Injury Report

The Suns will be without Jusuf Nurkic. Grayson Allen is probable for the Suns despite a knee injury.

Hawks vs Suns Prediction

I’ve bashed the Phoenix Suns all season long, as they’re highly disappointing given the talent on the roster. The Suns are also 13-24-1 ATS, which is the worst cover team in the NBA. However, the Suns just beat the Hawks by eight points last week, and this line tells me they’re not going to have Trae Young. He’s listed as questionable at the time of this writing, so check the injury report for updates, before betting. Still, if Young isn’t playing, even the Suns should be able to beat the Hawks. Heck, the Suns just did it with Young playing 34 minutes. I’ll lay the points with the Suns given the Hawks injury situation.
