Washington is favored here? This team has the third-worst defense in the NBA, allowing 47.3% shooting. If a team has a great offense, it can overcome that. But, the Wizards are averaging a paltry 96.5 points per game on offense. Atlanta has gotten a reputation as a team that can win at home but not on the road. But in this game, they are the better team and should get the win. The fact is that the Hawks are 5-3 ATS on the road. Their road offense is better than Washington's home offense. The Hawks' road defense is better than the Wizards' home defense. And, over the past three seasons, Washington is just 3-14 ATS at home in division games. I like the Hawks here.
