The last time these two met, the Hawks visited the Suns mired in a 3 game losing streak. Now, the roles are reversed and it's the Suns who find themselves on the losing end of three staright and 5 out of their last 6. The Suns are playing the 4th of a 6 game road trip and 2 of their 3 losses have come in blowout fashion. Shaq had a big game in the last meeting between these two teams, but despite a poor shooting night and digging themselves into a big early hole the Hawks were able to hang around and take the game to the wire. The Hawks have won 3 straight and were dominant in their last game, a 30 point home blowout of the Bucks. It is unclear whether Nash will be able to play for the Suns, and even if he does I expect him to be slowed down and see limited playing time. The Suns are 6-15 without Nash in the lineup since 2004. A tale of two different teams and today I see the Hawks grabbing a comfortable win. Take the Hawks and lay the - 4 1/2.
