The Hawks (-800) are a solid team, but they shouldn’t be that expensive against any team in the league.<\/p>\n BET WIZARDS +12.5 (-105).<\/p>\n The Wizards have struggled to cover, mainly because of their lack of defense, but the Hawks sit 20th in offensive rating. Atlanta may not punish Washington enough to separate by this margin. The Wizards have covered in 2 of their last 3 games.<\/p>\n Atlanta has scored 117 points or fewer in 5 straight games, and it has gone just 2-5 ATS across its last 7 performances. The Hawks are just 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite.<\/p>\n Back WIZARDS +12.5 (-105).<\/p>\n BET UNDER 235.5 (-110).<\/p>\n This is a lofty total for 2 teams that aren’t very efficient offensively. While the defenses are terrible, neither team ranks within the top 10 in true shooting percentage.<\/p>\n The Hawks have defended well as of late, too. They have gone Under in 4 straight games and have allowed 110 points or fewer in 3 of those contests.<\/p>\n Take UNDER 235.5 (-110).<\/p>\n For more sports betting picks and tips, check out SportsbookWire.com<\/a> and BetFTW<\/a>.<\/p>\n Follow SportsbookWire on Twitter\/X<\/a> and like us on Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n Access more NBA coverage:<\/p>\n HoopsHype<\/a> | Celtics Wire<\/a> | Nets Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Rockets Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Sixers Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Thunder Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Warriors Wire<\/a>\u00a0| LeBron Wire<\/a> |\u00a0Rookie Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0List Wire<\/a><\/p>\n Our team of savvy editors independently handpicks all recommendations.
