The Atlanta Hawks (8-5) visit the Phoenix Suns (8-5) tonight at the Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix.
Both teams are trending upward, entering with identical records and significant momentum. Atlanta has won four straight, while Phoenix has won five in a row.
The Suns’ recent success comes in part from a favorable schedule, with wins over struggling teams like the Indiana Pacers and Dallas Mavericks, but their average margin of victory — including multiple blowouts by 30+ — shows they’re taking care of business convincingly.
Phoenix has adjusted well since trading Kevin Durant.
Devin Booker is carrying the scoring load at 28.6 points and 7.0 assists per game, Dillon Brooks is adding 20.3, and Grayson Allen has become a reliable third option at 18.5 (though he’ll miss tonight).
Jalen Green, the prized return from the Durant trade, remains sidelined with a hamstring injury until December. But his 29-point performance in one of his two appearances hinted at the offensive upside he could bring once healthy.
Atlanta arrives scorching hot, coming off back-to-back 132+ point outings against the Jazz and Kings — and they defeated the Lakers earlier this month. They’re doing all this without Trae Young.
Jalen Johnson has emerged as the lead option at 21.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game. Kristaps Porzingis, while not available every night, adds 17.3 when he plays. Altogether, including Young, the Hawks have seven players averaging double figures, giving them one of the deeper and more versatile rotations in the league.
Prediction
Both teams are rolling, but Atlanta’s balanced scoring and recent defensive uptick give them a slight edge, especially with Allen out. Phoenix’s home floor and Booker’s shot-making keep this tight.
Prediction: Hawks 116, Suns 112
