The Suns head to Atlanta on the back of a 5 game winning streak but have been a bit below their best in their 2 games on this road trip. They only just beat the struggling Thunder by 3 points and were forced into an OT win over the Cavs in Cleveland on Wednesday. So look for the Suns to get better on defence, especially against Trae Young.<\/span><\/p>\n Meanwhile, the Hawks have won back to back home games against the Trail Blazers 123-114 and Bulls 108-97. Danilo Gallinari in particular dominated the Trail Blazers with 28 points and 7 threes. Trae Young was a bit quieter after scoring 30+ in 2 straight games so we can see him bouncing back in a quality matchup.<\/span><\/p>\n The Hawks have been good at home recently and the Suns have been giving up plenty of points to average teams. So we do like the chances of the Over between two good scoring teams that should play at a fast pace. Over is also 6-1 in the Suns last 7 road games.<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n The Hawks have a perfect 5-0 record in their last 5 home games. The Suns have lost their last 5 games at this venue.<\/span><\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/b><\/p>\n The Suns won the earlier season meeting 117-110 but Atlanta has won 6 of the last 10 meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n Best Bet<\/b><\/p>\n Over 227.5 pts $1.91<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The Wizards march towards the playoffs just continues after winning 8 of their last 10 games. They come off a high scoring affair against the Pacers in their 154-141 victory. Westbrook was dominant on the statsheet as usual, highlighted by 24 assists and 21 rebounds. However, the Wizards will need to bring their defence to Milwaukee in a tough matchup.<\/span><\/p>\n Giannis and the Bucks are hitting peak form before the playoffs after back to back wins over the Nets. Giannis Antetokounmpo has scored 49 & 36 points in those victories and we can’t see him slowing down against the Wizards leaky defence.<\/span><\/p>\n At the moment, the total isn’t available but the Over is 7-0 between these two teams and we can expect another high scoring \/ fast pace affair on Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n Milwaukee holds a 4-1 record in their last 5 home games.
