PREVIEW: The Atlanta Hawks bring a four-game winning streak into their matchup against the Phoenix Suns, who have won five straight. The Hawks rank first in spacing on offense and second in passing quality, hallmarks of their ball movement-oriented system , while they rank third in defensive shotmaking and forcing turnovers. Atlanta's offense has been particularly efficient, posting 30.1 assists per game—the third-best mark in the NBA. The Hawks have thrived without Trae Young, with six players averaging double figures and Jalen Johnson leading the charge at 21.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game. Phoenix counters with efficient three-point shooting ranked fourth in the league and high-frequency attempts at 46.9 percent of their shots from deep. Devin Booker has been the engine of the Suns' success, averaging 28.5 points and 7.0 assists per game after a 33-point performance against the Pacers. However, the Suns carry vulnerabilities—they rank 25th in tempo and 28th in attacking the rim, while posting the league's worst defensive rebounding at 26th. With the Suns boasting a 6-1 home record and the Hawks entering on a three-game road winning streak, both teams bring complementary strengths to what should be a tightly contested matchup in Phoenix.
