The Phoenix Suns have shot 48.9% or better in their last 12 and 17 of their previous 19 games. Throughout their previous 5 contests Phoenix has shot a blistering hot 56.7% and that includes making 40.4% of their 3-point shot attempts. The Suns are coming off a 136-120 win at Brooklyn.

Atlanta has played 14-8-1 to the over at home this season and there was a combined average of 247.0 points scored per game. The Hawks are averaging 135.7 points scored per game while shooting 50.7% in their last 3 at home. The Hawks have played 4-0 to the over in their last 4 overall with a combined average of 262.0 points scored per contest. Atlanta has been horrible defensively over their last 5 while allowing 130.2 points per game while opponents shot 52.2% from the floor, made an alarmingly high 43.5% of their 3-point shot attempts, and had 28 free throw attempts per contest.

Granted this is an extremely high total even by modern NBA standards. However, I’m not going to let that scare me away. Give me this game to go over the total.
