Hawks at Wizards picks and predictions
Prediction
Wizards 116, Hawks 111
Moneyline
BET WIZARDS (+125).
Johnson's ankle is a point of concern for the Hawks in this one. They were 4-6 without him a season ago and came up short by at least double figures in each of those losses. Atlanta has been on a skid and is just 1-5 ATS in its last 6 games.
The Wizards, who have long-time Hawks G Trae Young after trading for him last season, could see a revenge game from the sharpshooter in his first game against Atlanta. Washington has covered 2 straight games, both as an underdog and winning each.
Expect a strong performance from Washington and take WIZARDS (+125).
Against the spread
PASS.
Avoid this play. The Wizards are the preferred route here, but they are better played to win outright given the odds for each.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 232.5 (-110).
Both teams are trending towards the Under. The Hawks have scored 114 points or fewer in 5 of their last 6 games and have gone below the total in 3 straight outings. Washington has hit the Under in 4 straight games and has tallied 103 points or fewer in 3 of those contests.
Best prop bet
Hawks G NICKEIL ALEXANDER-WALKER OVER 20.5 POINTS (-125).
Alexander-Walker should get an easy matchup against Young in this one. He's been scorching hot, scoring 23 points or more in 3 of his last 4 games. If Johnson does miss this one, he's going to be the main offensive weapon for Atlanta.
