Premium Pick

Washington comes off an impressive performance over the Los Angeles Lakers Sunday, 128-110. They held LeBron James to 5-of-16 shooting and 13 points. The Wizards are 9-4-1 UNDER the total against teams with a winning percentage below .400. NBA road favorites are 34-16 ATS after a blowout win by 15+ points after scoring 100+ points in five straight games. It won't take much to shut down an Atlanta offense that is #22 in the NBA in points scored, #25 in field goal shooting, #24 from the charity stripe. The Hawks are on a 2-7 spread run at home, as well as 3-8 ATS after scoring 100+ points in their previous game. NBA home underdogs that average 103+ points are 60-91 ATS when facing a team off a blowout win of 15+ points. The Hawks are also 30-16 UNDER the total versus teams that are getting outscored by 3+ points per contest. Washington just won at Atlanta two weeks ago by 14, so back the visitors in a defensive duel. Play Washington and UNDER.
