Atlanta Hawks vs Washington Wizards Prediction

I’m not running to the window to lay this massive line with the Hawks, a banged-up team that’s on the end of a back-to-back. However, the Wizards haven’t played a lick of defense through two games, and we know they’re an unserious team overall. The Wizards just lack depth and talent to compete most nights, and they’re 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games despite being big underdogs nightly. I have little use for the Wizards. It’s Hawks or pass for me.
