Hawks vs. Suns Odds & Betting Predictions - March 22, 2024

The Hawks take on the Suns tonight and one player that I expect to make an impact is Bogdan Bogdanovic. Bogdanovic is an excellent scoring threat but also can contribute as a secondary facilitator and will be leaned upon even more without Jalen Johnson and Saddiq Bey. In 15 games this season without Jalen Johnson, Bogdanovic is averaging 27.7 PRA and has exceeded his 24.5 PRA line in 11/15 games. In his last game against the Blazers he missed with 23 but that was directly related to an abysmal 3/15 shooting night. Here, he gets a relatively soft Suns’ defense who he recorded 32 PRA against earlier this season with a 23 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists stat line while playing alongside Jalen Johnson and Trae Young. The Suns have the 19th ranked defense since the All-Star Break and I expect them to provide plenty of opportunities for Bogdanovic to contribute despite the nearly double digit spread. I like Bogdanovic to exceed 24.5 PRA.
