Atlanta at Phoenix

The Phoenix Suns have done well enough to deserve more, but a slightly better than .500 record doesn't cut it in the competitive NBA West. They cashed in on some trades, realizing the playoffs were becoming out of reach, and are just 5-9 in their last 14 games. The Atlanta Hawks have been the story of the year in the NBA at 50-14. They don't have the super-star in their lineup, but they do two things. They share the ball, and they show up just about every night, and have done so consistently all season. Since this team has taken off, they have lost two in a row just once, and better than that they have been 6-1 ATS following a loss. Lay the points and take Atlanta.
