Atlanta Hawks: (+145)

 

• The spread for the game is Phoenix by 3.5 points.

• Shooting guard Devin Booker leads the team in scoring at an average of 26.2 points but was held to 12 points on 3-of-12 shooting in Sunday’s 100-92 victory over the Hornets. “There are nights like this,” Booker told reporters. “There are 82 games in a season. I just try not to have me making or missing shots affect the rest of my game. That is what they teach you when you are young. It is kind of hard when you are in the moment to not get frustrated. That is how you let your team down.” Booker handed out nine assists and gave up some shots to small forward Kelly Oubre Jr., who finished with 25 points on 10-of-19 shooting and 15 rebounds.

• Atlanta owns the worst record in the NBA and is using the season to develop talent around Young. Rookie small forward Cam Reddish stepped up without Young on Sunday and scored a team-high 20 points and went 4-of-8 from beyond the arc while adding a season-high five steals. “I feel like I was engaged, just locked in,” Reddish, who is averaging 8.3 points on 32.5 percent shooting and 3.8 rebounds, told reporters. “That was just the result. Just trying to be energetic all over the floor.”

• Oubre is averaging 23.1 points and 8.9 rebounds over his last eight games.
