Atlanta Hawks @ Washington Wizards Preview

The Atlanta Hawks (24-28) are coming off a confidence-boosting 115-110 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, snapping a two-game losing streak. Despite their struggles this season, the Hawks rank 8th in scoring (116.1 PPG) but have one of the league's worst defenses, allowing 119.0 PPG. Trae Young, averaging 23.2 points and 11.4 assists per game, will be a key player to watch as Atlanta looks to build momentum and climb the Eastern Conference standings.

The Washington Wizards (9-42) are in the midst of an eight-game home losing streak, with their most recent defeat being a 134-124 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Jordan Poole shined in that game with 45 points, but the Wizards' defense remains a glaring issue, allowing 121.5 PPG this season. Washington will need a strong defensive effort to contain Atlanta's high-powered offense and avoid extending their home losing streak.

Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

The Atlanta Hawks and Washington Wizards have faced each other 323 times in the regular season, with the Hawks leading the series 169-154. This season, the Wizards hold a 2-1 edge in their matchups, with the most recent meeting on November 15, 2024, resulting in a 129-117 victory for the Hawks at State Farm Arena. Historically, Atlanta has been dominant in recent years, winning 13 of their last 18 games against Washington. However, the Wizards have shown they can compete, particularly in their two wins earlier this season.

Pick: Atlanta Hawks -4.5

The Hawks are the better team on paper and are coming off a morale-boosting win against the Bucks. With Trae Young leading the charge and the Wizards' defensive struggles, Atlanta should be able to cover the -4.5 spread. Washington's inability to defend consistently, coupled with their eight-game home losing streak, makes the Hawks a strong pick in this matchup.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Trae Young Over 10.5 Assists

Trae Young is averaging 11.4 assists per game this season and has a strong track record against the Wizards, averaging 9.7 assists in 24 career games. With Washington's defensive struggles, Young should have ample opportunities to facilitate and surpass this line.

2. Jordan Poole Over 25.5 Points

Jordan Poole is coming off a 45-point performance against Cleveland and has been a bright spot for the Wizards' offense. With Atlanta's defensive issues, Poole is likely to have another high-scoring game.

3. Over 236.5 Total Points

Both teams rank near the bottom of the league in defensive efficiency, and their recent matchups have been high-scoring affairs. The over has hit in 5 of the last 6 games for the Hawks and 3 of the last 4 for the Wizards, making this a strong play.
