After shaking up the starting five and finally getting a healthy Big 3, the Suns are winners of four of five. They’ll look to keep forward momentum going when they travel to Atlanta to face the Hawks, who are on an opposite trajectory with a 1-4 record across their last five.
My Suns vs. Hawks predictions expect Devin Booker to continue facilitating at a high level. Read my NBA picks to see why you should take the Over on his assists prop tonight.
Suns vs Hawks prediction
My best bet
Devin Booker Over 7.5 assists (+100 at bet365)
My analysis
For the second season in a row, Devin Booker is averaging 6.9 assists — his career-high in that category. Booker has dished at least eight assists in just 14 of 33 games this season, but he’s been on a roll as of late, and I’m happily taking the Over here.
Since returning from an extended layoff, Booker has averaged 8.9 assists across seven games, hitting the Over on this one six times. That includes three games with double-digit assists, including a season-high 12 dimes.
On the season, the Atlanta Hawks have allowed the third-most assists to opponents, including the second-most to shooting guards. Over the last 10, Atlanta has allowed the most assists overall, and over the last 15, the Hawks have allowed the most assists to SGs. Atlanta sports the sixth-worst defensive rating (116.6) over its last 10 games.
Phoenix Suns have been great at sharing the ball this season, and the Suns rank seventh in assist ratio at 19.8. Over the last seven games, the Suns are tied for the highest assist ratio at 21.3.
Booker gets a phenomenal matchup, and I fully expect him to continue his heater as a playmaker. Getting this prop at even money is just the cherry on top.
Suns vs Hawks same-game parlay
Devin Booker Over 7.5 assists
Onyeka Okongwu Over 6.5 rebounds
Kevin Durant Over 24.5 points
Onyeka Okongwu has averaged eight boards across his last five and hit the Over on this line four times. Unsurprisingly, Okongwu has played four of those five without Jalen Johnson. Johnson is sidelined again tonight, and Okongwu will face a Suns team that has allowed the fourth-most rebounds and most offensive rebounds across its last eight with Mason Plumlee starting at center. Okongwu’s rebound line is set at 8.5, but I’m happy to take the safer alt line and add it to this parlay.
Kevin Durant’s scoring line is set at 27.5 and, like Okongwu, I’d rather take the alt line for shorter odds. Durant has scored at least 25 points in 19 of 28 games this season, but he’s scored 28 or more only 12 times. Atlanta has surrendered 119.8 points per game (28th) this season, but the Hawks’ defense has been particularly vulnerable across its last five, giving up 125 points in that span. Durant should have no problem clearing this line.
