Hawks vs Wizards Prediction

This is a massive line, and we’ve been fading the Hawks a lot over the last month. However, the Wizards are getting more and more banged up, and that’s making them harder to back. The Hawks have a chance to be a complete team, as Kuminga is questionable rather than out. If the Hawks are trying to be a playoff team, these are games they win comfortably. We saw the Hawks smack the Wizards on the road back in December. I don’t love double-digit chalk with average-at-best teams, but the Hawks could be completely healthy against a Washington side that’s battered and bruised. I’ll lay the points.
