Washington Wizards vs Atlanta Hawks Picks and Prediction
Pick: Washington Wizards
Atlanta F Jalen Johnson (ankle) did not play in Wednesday’s victory and is listed as questionable for this game. The Hawks have won four straight meetings against the Wizards by an average of 20 points. The Wizards are 4-4 ATS and the Hawks own a 4-5 ATS record. Washington is a much improved squad and will get revenge with a road victory.
Pick: Under

The Hawks are 4-5 O/U and the Wizards are 1-7 O/U. Washington's games are staying under the total by more than 14 points. Take the under.
Final Score Prediction: Washington Wizards win 114-111
