The Atlanta Hawks are aware that they delivered a huge win in their last game, and thanks to Miami Heat’s loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, they have now advanced within 1.5 games of the seventh place in the Eastern Conference.

Washington Wizards enter today’s match with the intent to prevent a second consecutive defeat and fourth loss in a row in the presence of their supporters. They still grace 10th place in the Eastern Conference, but they might want to sit up, as they are just 1.5 games behind the Chicago Bulls, who are their closest competitor.
For the Wizards to get back in form, they must restore their strength playing at home. This is important because they have won only one of their last five home games. Although they’ve lost four closely-contested games, they know they can improve on their record.
To do that, they’ll depend on their key 3 players – Kristaps Porzingis who scored 43 points, then Kyle Kuzma and Bradley Beal who added 25 and 24 points, respectively, last week Wednesday.
MatchPlug Prediction
Atlanta’s defense problems were apparent on Wednesday, whereas their offense was impressive, headed by one of the NBA’s best players, averaging 117.2 points in a road game.
But, while Washington is not great in offense, it has three players in its ranks that are in excellent shape and have exploited the Hawks’ shortcomings on their side of the court in the last two occasions this campaign.
22 out of the Hawks’ 35 games on the road this year, have covered the Over. Taking into account how well the Wizards and Hawks have done in defense, fans should expect another close, high-scoring matchup.
Final Prediction: Atlanta Hawks Moneyline.
