10* UNDER Hawks/Suns (NON-CONF. TOM)

I feel there are enough situational factors that point to this being more of a defensive affair, than a wide-open "shootout" to pull the trigger on a big play on the "under" in this one. The Hawks have now seen the total go "over" the number in three straight after their most recent 129-125 road loss at Portland. That's significant for us to note though, as Atlanta has in fact seen the total go "under" the number in four of their last five after playing to three or more straight "overs" in a row. Phoenix has seen the total go "over" in two straight. It hits the road for five straight on the East Coast starting in Boston on Friday and I say the home side gets caught "looking ahead." Look for this non-conference game to be less intense offensively; the play is the "under!"
