Wizards Spotlight

The Washington Wizards have reeled off 3 in a row, winning 2 against the Boston Celtics and once against these Hawks. They have’t found much success in the winning department in Atlanta, losing 4 of their last 5 games there, but they did manage to go 4-1 ATS during that span. The Wizards were able to catch the Hawks off-guard as 4-point home dogs, but still allowed the Hawks to shoot 54% from the field.

Hawks Spotlight

The Atlanta Hawks are dealing with a 2-game skid at the moment, while losing 3 straight ATS. It’s been a while since the Hawks have lost 4 in a row though, dating back to January 9th 2021. No better time than now to end the skid at home where they’ve gone 16-4 SU in their last 20 home games, and 27-11 SU in their last 38 games at State Farm Arena. The Hawks should be relieved to get off the road after playing 4 of their last 5 games out there.

Final Say

This is a situational pick here, where you have a decent Wizards squad coming off 3 straight quality wins vs playoff contenders… one of which was against the Hawks. They just beat the Celtics two quick times, but will be tough to do the same thing to the Hawks in Atlanta where the Hawks ball out, winning by an average of 22 points per game so far. The Hawks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games coming home after a 3-game road trip. Revenge should be on the minds of the Hawks. Expect the Hawks to trip up the Wizards in a bad spot on the road

Pick: Atlanta Hawks -5.5
