After beating the Philadelphia 76ers by 10 points on Monday, the Phoenix Suns followed it up with a 115-104 loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday. Tonight, the Suns host the Atlanta Hawks at 9:00 p.m. ET. The Hawks are 1-3 in their previous four games and most recently beat the Utah Jazz on Tuesday.
Here is my favorite prop bet for Kevin Durant against the Hawks. Durant is scoring 27.4 points per game this season, the fifth most in the NBA.
Kevin Durant over 25.5 points (-105)
This is the first time the Suns have faced the Hawks this season. Durant has dominated the Hawks in the past, scoring over 25.5 points in eight of the previous nine games against Atlanta. You can get his over in points at -120 on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Durant scored 26 points in his previous game against the Hornets and has hit this scoring total seven times in the last 10 games. During the previous three weeks, Durant averaged 29.9 points, which is third in the NBA. Durant has made under 10 field goals in each of the last three games. It is the first time he has done so in nearly a month. Durant has yet to make fewer than 10 field goals in four straight games this season.
Anytime you can get Durant’s scoring total under 27 points, it is a win. He even scored 30-plus points five times in December. Tonight, Durant has a great matchup against the Hawks, who allow 199.8 points per game to opposing teams, which is the third most in the league.
