Prediction
Wizards 114, Hawks 110
Moneyline (ML)
The Hawks (-115) are currently the moneyline favorites on the road, despite winning just eight of their 38 games this season. While the WIZARDS (-106) have a ton of injuries, they are the better bet here at home. These two teams are just too similar, and there is more value on the home team in this contest.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The Hawks (-1.5, -106) are one-possession favorites on the road, despite losing 14 of their last 16 contests away from home. The WIZARDS (+1.5, -115) have had a little more success against the spread than the Hawks, covering in two of their previous three games. Neither team is having much success this season, so give me the home underdog in the battle of these two Eastern Conference bottom feeders.
Over/Under (O/U)
The total for this Eastern Conference matchup is set at 236.5 points, but that feels far too high. While the Hawks have managed to score more than 115 points in three straight games, the Wizards have hit that mark just once in their previous five contests. Expect this to be a higher scoring game, but for the UNDER 236.5 (-106) to hit.
