Hawks vs Suns Prediction
The Hawks just aren’t a team I’m excited to back most nights and that’s the case here as well. The Hawks are 7-13 SU at home. The Suns are as healthy as they’ve been all season, and they’re a leagues best 30-12-2 ATS on the season. The Suns are 22-4 ATS in their last 26 games as a favorite. There’s not much left to say here folks. The Suns are a cash cow and at this point you should be blindly backing them. We’re laying a bucket. Give me the Suns all day long.
