Game Preview
When the Phoenix Suns take on the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday at State Farm Arena, a new era will begin. Late on Wednesday night, Phoenix took part in a huge transaction that saw Brooklyn lose star Kevin Durant to Phoenix. Atlanta, meanwhile, has dropped two straight games, although last week the Hawks defeated Phoenix with ease, 132-100.
Kevin Durant and T.J. Warren were acquired by the Suns from the Brooklyn Nets overnight, though Durant won’t be able to play tonight. Phoenix is entering Atlanta shorthanded as a result of the trade and several injuries, despite the fact that it will be much more formidable down the stretch with Durant.
By adding a new superstar, the Suns are capitalizing on the Nets’ deteriorating core, much like the Dallas Mavericks did before them. As they attempt to avoid the play-in tournament this playoffs, Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton, and company will have the opportunity to play with Kevin Durant.
Let’s check the latest picks, NBA news, stats and NBA expert picks for Suns vs Hawks. We’ve plenty of NBA predictions for you to consider.
Throughout December, Devin Booker was in and out of the starting lineup, and today, he will miss this game to rest. DeAndre Ayton now serves as the offense’s main focal point because they are without their leading scorer. 10.3 rebounds per game and 18.4 points per game are both team highs for Ayton.
The Hawks, meanwhile, are fully healthy going into tonight’s game. In this matchup against the undermanned Suns, Trae Young, who is averaging 26.8 points and 10 assists per game, will have access to all of his available tools. It’s not like the Hawks haven’t already had success playing the Suns.
Atlanta just defeated Phoenix by a score of 132-100, turning in one of the Hawks’ greatest games of the year. The Suns will have a difficult time exacting their vengeance tonight at State Farm Arena if they are hoping to do so. The Suns have won five of their last six games, but their lone loss came to Atlanta, and they will face a drastically different squad today.
