Washington at Atlanta

Premium Pick

Atlanta played no defense to speak of in its 140-111 loss at Oklahoma City on Friday, but the Hawks still have covered four of their last six, and I expect them to be focused on the defensive end tonight. Plus, the Wizards are even worse on that end of the court as they allow opponents a .488 field goal percentage. This is a revenge matchup for Atlanta, which lost 111-101 in the only meeting this season on Jan. 10, and the Hawks are 4-1 ATS their last five home games and 6-2 ATS following a loss. Washington is 3-7 ATS its last 10 games following an ATS win and 2-5 ATS after any win. Also, the Wizards play down to their competition as they are 5-11 ATS versus teams with losing records. Play the Hawks.
