*10* Total MASSACRE on OVER Hawks/Suns.

The Atlanta Hawks managed only 88 points as they had a three-game winning streak come to an end in Thursday's loss at Sacramento. They're likely to rebound with more points and a win when they visit the lowly Phoenix Suns Saturday night, and I think this game will fly over the total.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. The Suns' Defense - The Suns have allowed an average of 111.2 points per game through six consecutive defeats. Their 106.9 opponent points per game this season is the second worst mark in the NBA, better than only the Kings' 107.4.

2. Situational - The Hawks failed to cover the spread at Sacramento Thursday, and the over is 6-1 in Atlanta's last seven following a ATS loss and 4-1 in their past five coming up against a team with a winning % below .400.

3. X-Factor - The Suns are dealing with plenty of injuries, but rookie guard Devin Booker has risen to the occasion averaging 28 points in his past two games.

Selection: This is a play on ATL@PHO to go OVER the total (10*)
