The Atlanta Hawks travel to Arizona to face the Phoenix Suns at Phoenix Suns Arena on Wednesday.

The Hawks (5-5) finally got a win on Monday, beating the Philadelphia 76ers, 112-94. While that may look like a spectacular win on the surface, it's far from. We say that because the Sixers were missing Ben Simmons, Tobias Harris, Shake Milton and Seth Curry in that game. That also followed up a four-game losing streak for Atlanta and it's hard to look at that victory and believe anything was solved. What was nice to see was Trae Young's return to form, collecting 26 points and eight assists in just 25 minutes of action. That's the stud we saw throughout most of last season and his struggles early on were a major reason why they lost four-straight. If he keeps doing that while John Collins and Clint Capela run the frontcourt, this club will be just fine going forward.

The Suns (7-4) looked unbeatable when they started the season with five wins in their first six games but they've gone on to post a 2-3 record since then. While that's not necessarily terrible, losing to the Washington Wizards and Detroit Pistons is. Those are two clubs that Phoenix should handle with ease and it's scary to see them completely dominated by the Wizards in their most recent game on Monday. That was a Washington team who was missing Russell Westbrook too and it was simply unacceptable to surrender 128 points to one of the worst teams in the NBA. The one thing that's really been holding them back is their rebounding, ranked 27th in the league. That's a strange stat to see with a stud like Deandre Ayton down low but one has to believe that number will improve as the season progresses.

These teams split their two-game season series last year, with the home team winning in dominating fashion. That gives the Hawks four wins in their last five games against the Suns.
