Washington at Atlanta

You can already see that Washington is going to be an improved team with Gilbert Arenas back on the floor. Arenas scored 29 points in the opener on the road in a big win over a tough Dallas squad. It also looks like center Andray Blatche is improving as he chipped-in with 20 points. With Caron Butler and Randy Foye coming off the bench, the Wizards are going to be much better if they stay healthy. The Hawks won't catch anyone by surprise this season as they did a year ago, and remains a viable playoff team. They have failed in six of their last seven when coming off of a straight-up win. Washington cashed big a year ago off of two days of rest, going 16-7 ATS. We have a live dog here for this one, so I'm going with Washington.
