Atlanta Hawks vs Washington Wizards Prediction

I’ve called the Washington Wizards an unserious team for a couple of years now, and don’t want to make a habit of backing them. However, 7.5-point chalk for the Hawks is insane. The Hawks were easily the worst covering team in the league last season and are 4-8 ATS this year. The Wizards have two wins this season, and both were against the Hawks. The Wizards have beaten the Hawks three times since January. The Hawks are 2-5 ATS and 3-4 SU in their last 7 games when favorites of 7 or more points. Give me the Wizards and the points.
