An Eastern Conference matchup sees the 5th place Washington Wizards head to Atlanta to take on the 4th place Atlanta Hawks.
The Hawks, coming off a 119-114 win over the Chicago Bulls, will look to defend home court and get a win over the Wizards.
Washington Wizards
After struggling for the first 30 games of the season, the Wizards have really started to figure things out in the New Year. Washington has won six out of the last seven games and are starting to look like a dangerous team.
Coming off a solid win over the 3rd place Boston Celtics, the Wizards will look to continue that forward momentum against the Hawks.

To do so, Washington will need to continue playing its brand of quick offense, led by the backcourt of John Wall and Bradley Beal.
Wall is having an All-Star season, averaging a double-double with 23.1 points and 10.1 assists per game. He’s been an excellent floor general and his recent clutch play has really helped the Wizards get back on track.

His back court partner, Bradley Beal, is having a great year. He’s averaging 21.9 points per game on 46% shooting from the field.
Add in solid scorers like Otto Porter and Markieff Morris, along with the defense and rebounding of Marcin Gortat, and you’ve got a team that can prove to be tough to beat on any given night.
Atlanta Hawks
Much like Washington, Atlanta went through some rough patches earlier in the year. However, it seems the Hawks have figured things out.
The team has won 12 out of the last 15 games and a lot of the reason for that has been on the defensive end. The Hawks are playing solid defense, giving up just about 103 points per game to opponents.
This puts the team 9th in the NBA in that category and it’s helped them gut out tough games against good offenses.
Speaking of good offenses, the Hawks’ offense has been better as of late. Atlanta has five players averaging double figures in scoring each night, including newly minted starting point guard Dennis Schroder.
Schroder, taking the role after Jeff Teague was traded to Indiana, has proved to be a great gamble for Atlanta. He is averaging 17.6 points per game on 47% shooting.

He’s also contributing 6.3 assists per game and playing a solid 31 minutes per game.
With a guy like him running the floor, the Hawks have a chance each night.
NBA Betting Trends:
- Washington is 5-0 ATS in the last five games
- Atlanta is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 games
Free Washington Wizards vs. Atlanta Hawks NBA Prediction:
This should prove to be a tough matchup for both teams, considering how well each has played recently. Because of Washington’s brilliant guard play, I give it the edge. Washington gets the W on the road.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Washington ATS
I like Washington’s money line in this one. It should be a close game, but the defense for Washington should prevail and help limit Atlanta’s scoring.
