Atlanta at Washington

Premium Pick

This series has been dominated by the home team with all four games going to the home squad, and tonight the Washington Wizards are the host. This series sets up in much the same way that the San Antonio vs. Memphis series has. i look for Washington to gain the upper hand tonight. Teams that are home for Game 5 and have seen the first four series games go to the home team seldom break serve in Game 5 in the NBA playoffs. Game 5 home teams in this situation are a resounding 51-15 SU. I think the dynamics of Washington's elite guards of Wall and Beal come to the rescue tonight. I also think that Markieff Morris, who scored 21 in Game 1, but has been in foul trouble over the last three games, has a major impact tonight as well. Play on Washington.
