Hawks’ Millsap out vs. Suns
ATLANTA, GA (The Spread) – The Hawks will host a Suns team tonight that they’ve had issues covering the spread against and to make matters worse, they’ll be without their leading scorer.
Forward Paul Millsap will miss the Hawks’ next two games following a right shoulder injury suffered in Saturday night’s 131-99 victory over the Nets at Philips Arena. The team’s leading scorer will be out tonight and Wednesday when Atlanta takes on Brooklyn for the second time in less than a week.
According to oddsmakers from online sports book Bovada.lv, the Hawks are 7.5-point home favorites over the Suns after opening as an 8.5-point favorite. The total, meanwhile, is sitting at 201.5 after opening at 203.
The Suns are 5-1 against the spread in their last six games in Atlanta and are 9-3 against the number in their last 12 games overall versus the Hawks.
