The Atlanta Hawks will host the Phoenix Suns tonight in a game between two teams at the opposite ends of the standings. The Hawks are looking to set a franchise wins record, while Phoenix is looking to make it back-to-back wins after they snapped a five game losing streak with a win over Utah. I think the home team could be asked to cover a few too many points in this one.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Suns have enjoyed success in Atlanta in the past, covering the spread in five of their last six visits. They are also 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings overall in this series.

2. Injuries - Hawks leading scorer Paul Millsap will not play tonight after he suffered a shoulder injury against the Nets on Wednesday. The Hawks may also choose to rest starters with home court advantage already locked up in the playoffs.

3. X-Factor - The Suns have played well on the road of late, covering the spread in five of their last six.

Selection: This is a play on the Phoenix Suns (8*)
