Washington Wizards Betting Preview
The Washington Wizards have been in decent form as they’ve split their first eight games and they were riding a two-game win streak before they got stopped in their tracks by the Hawks in a 120-105 loss on Wednesday. Anthony Davis led the way with 26 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks on 12 of 19 shooting, Kyshawn George added 25 points with seven assists on 10 of 14 shooting while Trae Young chipped in with 18 points and six assists. As a team, the Wizards shot 48 percent from the field and just six of 26 from the 3-point line, but they really got let down by their bench players who got outscored by the Hawks’ bench by 52-16. Tre Johnson had a night to forget as he scored just three points on one of nine shooting while Bub Carrington finished scoreless on zero of four shooting off the bench.
Atlanta Hawks Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks are starting to heat up with three wins in their past four outings and they will be aiming for a third straight victory after running past the Wizards on Wednesday. Nickeil Alexander-Walker led the team with 26 points on nine of 20 shooting, Onyeka Okongwu added 14 points with 16 rebounds while Dyson Daniels tallied eight points with 16 rebounds and eight assists. As a team, the Hawks shot 45 percent from the field and 19 of 49 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 68 points in the first half and they just kept coming in waves with CJ McCollum and Aaron Wiggins combining for 30 points off the bench.
Washington v Atlanta Free Prediction
The Wizards are still missing Justin Champagnie, Tristan Vukcevic and Reece Beekman with Anthony Davis listed as questionable due to a right ankle sprain, while the Hawks have ruled out Jock Landale, Asa Newell and Keshon Gilbert with Jalen Johnson listed as questionable.
The Wizards were starting to heat up before their loss to the Hawks on Wednesday, but the good news is that they don’t have to wait long for a shot at revenge. The Hawks’ second unit was the difference on Wednesday and they will win again if the bench scoring is that lopsided, but it’s always tough to beat the same team twice in a row. I like the Wizards with the points if Davis suits up, but I think the Hawks make it two in a row if Davis sits out.
