Wizards at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Hawks 129, Wizards 124

Moneyline

PASS.

The Hawks should continue their winning streak against the Wizards, but at -270, they are unplayable to win outright.

Against the spread

LEAN WIZARDS +7 (-110).

The Hawks are the worst team in the NBA at covering at home. They are 3-13 ATS at home this season and haven't shown any more promise for bettors lately, covering in just 2 of their last 10.

Atlanta has allowed at least 126 points in 5 of its last 6 games, and that won't bode well for pulling away by more than 7. The Wizards have at least shown some ability to cover and are 3-2-2 ATS over their last 7 road games.

Considering the season-long trends, back WIZARDS +7 (-110).

Over/Under

BET OVER 250 (-110).

The Wizards are 20-17 O/U on the season and have gone Over in 3 of their last 6, allowing at least 130 in 3 of those. In the 3 games between the 2 teams, the total is 2-1 O/U. The Wizards play at the fastest tempo in the NBA while the Hawks sit 5th in pace.

At the same time, the Wizards rank last in defensive rating while the Hawks are 27th. Atlanta has gone Over in 4 of its last 6 and is 23-14 O/U on the season. Expect little defense and a bunch of scoring.

Take OVER 250 (-110).
