The Atlanta Hawks and the Washington Wizards collide at the Capital One Arena on Wednesday night. Here’s an Atlanta Hawks vs Washington Wizards Prediction. This article will include an Atlanta Hawks vs Washington Wizards Pick.
Atlanta HawksÂ
The Atlanta Hawks have cooled off a bit lately as they are now looking to avoid a third straight defeat after falling painfully short to the lowly Wizards in a 121-119 loss on Monday. Jalen Johnson led the team with 29 points, 12 rebounds, and seven assists, Larry Nance Jr added 15 points off the bench, Clint Capela tallied 16 points while Trae Young finished with 14 points and 13 assists. As a team, the Hawks shot 48 percent from the field and 15 of 40 from the 3-point line as they caught fire early to take a seven-point lead into halftime, but they allowed the Wizards to hang around so the game went down to a shot from Trae Young who missed the game-winner to cap off a poor shooting night of two of 15 from the field and two of 10 from the 3-point line. The Hawks will meet the Kings and Pelicans after this game.
Washington WizardsÂ
Meanwhile, the Washington Wizards had lost their first two games of the season before they were able to upset the Hawks on Monday night. Jordan Poole drained six 3-pointers to lead the team with 26 points and five assists, Kyle Kuzma added 25 points with 11 rebounds and seven assists, Corey Kispert added 21 points off the bench while Bilal Coulibaly chipped in with 17 points. As a team, the Wizards shot 45 percent from the field and a sizzling 21 of 44 from the 3-point line as they withstood the early barrage from the Hawks before they exploded for 37 points in the fourth quarter to hang on for the much-needed road victory. The Wizards will take on the Heat following this one.

Atlanta Hawks vs Washington Wizards Prediction
The Hawks are still missing a host of players including Bogdan Bogdanovic, Cody Zeller, and Dyson Daniels, while the Wizards have added Kyle Kuzma to the injury report with a groin strain. The Hawks will be gutted that they weren’t able to beat the Wizards at home, but the good news is that they won’t have to wait long to get their revenge. The Wizards are back at home for this meeting, but they are going to be missing Kuzma who played a major role in Monday’s victory with 25 points. The line is short enough for this one and I am sure that Young will have a big game here, so let’s go with the Hawks to get the job done on the road.
