Wizards at Hawks picks and predictions
Prediction
Hawks 115, Wizards 114
Moneyline
PASS.
The Hawks (-270) should win, but they are being a little overvalued on the moneyline. Bet the spread and/or total instead.
Against the spread
BET WIZARDS +6.5 (+100).
Atlanta is just 16-35 ATS in its last 51 games after a win. Washington should be able to bounce back and keep it close after a disappointing loss at Chicago, while Atlanta almost blew an 18-point lead vs. Brooklyn and was somewhat lucky to salvage the win.
The Hawks are just 10-14 ATS as home favorites this season and should struggle to win by margin vs. the Wizards.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 235.5 (-115).
The Under is 4-0 in Washington’s last 4 games and 6-2 in the Wizards’ last 8 on the road. The Under has hit in 8 of Atlanta’s last 11 games after failing to cover in its previous contest and is 7-3-1 in Washington’s last 11 after a loss by more than 10 points.
