Covers.com Takes Ayton's Points Over
Ed Scimia: "Clint Capela will get the bulk of the defensive work against Ayton. While Capela was once an elite defender, his numbers haven’t lived up to that reputation this year. After finishing 17th in defensive rating last season, NBA.com now lists Capela at 351st in that category. Capela is still averaging 1.3 blocks per game, but he’s not the kind of force down low that should cause much trouble for Ayton.
"With Ayton fresh and healthy, and with the Suns playing a team that gives up plenty of points, I’m looking to back the Over on the Phoenix center’s points prop. Most sportsbooks have Ayton’s points total at 19.5.
"That’s a reasonable number for his season as a whole but is low considering tonight’s matchup and his recent run of form. There are solid prices out there that make the Over on Ayton a smart play tonight.
"My best bet: Deandre Ayton Over 19.5 points (-115)"
Action Network Takes Hawks +1.5
Joe Dellera: "Both of these teams are underperforming relative to their full-season expectations. However, both teams have endless potential.
"However, I find an edge here with the road team. Atlanta’s rotations are healthy and essentially complete at this point in time. Despite Phoenix’s strong play with Paul’s return, it’s been fortunate that three of those games were against relatively bad teams in the Raptors, Spurs, and Hornets.
"Atlanta’s depth and versatility will be valuable, and I trust it to score in this spot."
DraftKings Likes the Over 230.5
Christian Crittenden: "Young should be a go in this one and be an added boost for the Hawks’ offense in this one. Seven of Atlanta’s last eight games have gone over on the total. The Hawks are 30-21 against the over/under this year. Despite the average point total at the Footprint Center being 222, take the over because the Hawks can get up and down when they’re clicking. They average 116 points per game on the road this season. Take the over."
