Atlanta at Washington

Premium Pick

The Hawks have been an up-and-down team all season, and come limping into the playoffs off a 6-10 finish over their last 16 games. That mark includes 2-7 in their last nine on the road, and have also dropped three straight in Washington. The Wizards completed November in distress, as they began December as a team that was just 6-11. From that point on this team became consistently good, and finished at 43-22, for the fifth best mark in the NBA, so this team is a lot better than the record. They have also been the NBA's third best home team at 25-6. The Wizards also fit into a playoff situation that has been 96-47-2 ATS. Play on Washington.
