Washington at Atlanta

You have to consider that both of these teams were expected to be above the .500 mark turning the quarter pole of the season, but it simply has not been the case. The Wizards have disappointed on the defensive end where they have allowed 12 opponents to hit triple-digits on the scoreboard, including Atlanta at home in a game that saw 209 total points scored just two weeks ago. The century mark has not been foreign territory for Atlanta's opponents either as 11 have made it there so far this season. The Hawks have been delivering on the offensive end of late, averaging over 100 in their last five games. I don't see the effort on the defensive end, and four of the last five in this series have topped the total. More of the same in store here, so play on the OVER.
