The Atlanta Hawks should be big favorites for obvious reasons, as they’re at home and have things to play for. The Washington Wizards are on the end of a back to back and have been bounced from playoff contention. However, let’s not act like the Hawks are the most trustworthy team in the world. Double-digit chalk? It would surprise nobody if the Hawks lost this game outright for some weird reason. Give me the points.
