Phoenix Suns vs Atlanta Hawks – Game Prediction
Even without star point guard Trae Young, the Hawks are still playing well, and in the majority of their games, it’s down to their defense. But players like Onyeka Okongwu (career high in points) and Jalen Johnson (third career triple-double) had a fantastic game. Tonight, they will have to contend with Devin Booker and a Suns club that has been playing excellent defense.Although Atlanta’s defense has been outstanding, they had a poor performance against the Jazz and let Lauri Markkanen score 40 points. Atlanta is ranked seventh in points allowed, seventh in FG% allowed, fifth in 3P% allowed, twenty-fifth in rebounds allowed, third in steals, and eighth in blocks per game. They have the fifth-best defensive rating of the year, and it is obvious that this defense will be far superior to the ones the squad has played in the past few seasons.Also read: Indiana Pacers vs Phoenix Suns (11-13-2025) game preview: When and where to watch, expected lineup, injury report, prediction, and more
