Wizards at Hawks: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Hawks 123, Wizards 120

Money line (ML)

The Hawks have played well over their last five games, winning four of them and covering the spread three times. They have clinched a playoff berth so resting players is a possibility, but their seed can range from No. 4 to 6 depending on how they finish the year.

I like the Hawks to win this one outright, but I’m going to PASS on the money line because I think it’ll be close.

Against the spread (ATS)

Incredibly, the Wizards are 13-3-1 ATS over their last 17 games, including an impressive stretch of 6-1-1 in their last eight. They won’t have Beal but PG Russell Westbrook is on a tear and is averaging a triple-double.

With Washington being the underdog, I’m taking the points. Bet the WIZARDS +6.5 (-110) to cover the spread again.

Over/Under (O/U)

In each of the Wizards’ last six games, the total has gone Over. Tonight’s line is on the higher side, predictably, with Washington scoring at least 124 points in each of its last six games and the Hawks lighting it up with at least 123 points scored in each of their last four.

Bet the OVER 238.5 (-110) despite Beal and Hunter being out.
