PREVIEW: The Phoenix Suns arrive in Atlanta ranked third in offensive rebounding and third in forcing turnovers, while the Hawks counter with elite spacing and passing that ranks first in the league. Phoenix's high frequency of midrange shots ranks fourth league-wide, though their offensive spacing lags significantly at 24th. Atlanta boasts the league's best tempo and sixth-ranked defensive rebounding, but struggles defensively by allowing the most rim-attacking opportunities in the NBA. The Suns enter as modest favorites by 3 points , setting up a matchup where contrasting styles could determine the outcome. Phoenix has been dominant on defense against rim attempts, ranking sixth, while Atlanta's perimeter playmaking could create mismatches throughout the evening. The Suns have won 13 of their last 18 games and arrive riding strong momentum , whereas the Hawks have dropped 17 of their last 25 contests. Devin Booker leads Phoenix with 25.3 points and 6.3 assists per game, while Jalen Johnson anchors Atlanta with 23.2 points, 10.3 rebounds and 8.0 assists . Both teams bring offensive firepower to State Farm Arena, but the Suns' defensive prowess and recent form suggest they'll be ready to challenge the Hawks' home court advantage.
