Washington Wizards vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction
The Atlanta Hawks are the better team and should be favored, but they’re also dealing with endless injuries and just lost at home a couple of days ago to these Wizards. The Hawks have yet to cover a game this season, and they’re 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The Wizards aren’t good, and they could easily lose by 20 points, but it’s hard to lay points with the Hawks, especially on the road. It’s Wizard sand the points or pass for me.
