Atlanta at Washington

Washington is 5-28 on the season including 4-13 at home. Yet they are getting just 2.5 points here? Atlanta is 21-14 on the season and they own a winning road record. Yes, the Wizards get John Wall back but I don't expect amazing things from him in his first game played this season. Even his coach admitted his conditioning will be a factor in this game. When facing really bad shooting teams like Washington (under 42% from the field), the Hawks are 8-1 straight-up the past two seasons. Over that same span, Atlanta is 16-1 vs. teams that score under 92 points per game. Finally, under Larry Drew, this team is 30-9 straight-up as a road favorite. Something tells me the points may come into play here. I like Atlanta straight-up.
