Today NBA Odds: Phoenix Suns at Atlanta Hawks
Monday, February 06, 2012

The Atlanta Hawks will look to keep pace with the Southeast Division leading Miami Heat and snap a two-game home losing streak on Monday when they host the Phoenix Suns.
The Hawks are neck-and-neck with the Orlando Magic behind the Heat. In order to keep pace, the Hawks will have to turn their four-game homestand around as they have dropped the first two. Despite the consecutive losses, the Hawks own an 8-3 home-court record.
The Suns on the other hand will be looking for their second straight win. Phoenix, third in the Pacific Division with a 4-8 record on the road, has won five of its last 10 games.
