Best Hawks-Suns NBA Player Prop | Chris Paul
Chris Paul Prop O/U 10.5 Assists
With Devin Booker and Cameron Payne sidelined, Chris Paul has had to step up for the Phoenix Suns. Paul has played five games since returning from an injury of his own and has averaged 21.6 points and 10.4 assists per game. His offensive contributions have helped Phoenix to a 4-1 record through that span, which includes an impressive two-point win over the Memphis Grizzlies.
Paul will have to dish out plenty of assists again tonight. The Atlanta Hawks play at the NBA’s 10th-fastest pace and own the 14th-best offense. Fortunately, their defense, which ranks 20th in efficiency and 23rd in assists allowed per game (25.7), should give Paul enough opportunities to set up his teammates. That’s exactly what he did in his most recent meetings with the Hawks — Paul recorded totals of 13 and 12 assists against them last year.

Although the Suns have a shortage of legitimate offensive weapons behind Paul, Mikal Bridges and Deandre Ayton, the Point God has averaged 18.6 potential assists per game over his last five starts, a noticeable uptick from his season average (17.3). Atlanta has also allowed the fifth-most points in the paint per game (53.3) and the second-most made shots from the restricted area (20.1). With Paul almost never shooting from the interior, look for him to set up his teammates to exploit Atlanta’s defensive weaknesses.
