*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Tuesday, April 4th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Wednesday, April 5th.
Washington Wizards
Recent play has officially eliminated the Wizards from playoff or play-in contention. They enter this match in a three-way tie with the Pacers and Magic sporting identical records.
Washington isn’t even playing coy attempting to be a spoiler. Rather, they’re invested in losing out to improve their lottery position so their main goal is to lose more than Orlando or Indy with an eye on the tanking Blazers who has one additional loss.
At stake is the 26th rung — or fifth-best lottery odds.
Stats
Statistically, the Wizards fall in the middle ground to the lower tier in the majority of areas. Also, they score 113 points per game ranking 23rd while shooting 48.6% from the field and 35.9% from the perimeter ranking eighth and 17th respectively.
So far, defensively, the Wizards allow 113.9 points per game ranking 16th while opponents shoot 47.2% from the field and 36.4% from deep ranking 12th and 19th respectively.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Kristaps Porzingis C (OUT—illness)
- Bradley Beal SG (OUT—knee)
- Kyle Kuzma SF (OUT—ankle)
- Monte Morris PG (OUT—ankle)
Atlanta Hawks
The basketball gods have favored the Hawks who keep eeking out wins to stay ahead of the Raptors and Bulls. Luck was truly on their side Tuesday when they faced the Bulls who’ve been balling lately and despite Trae Young being out they routed Chicago.
Atlanta needs to win this match not just to retain their eighth seed, but to also improve their divisional win percentage.
If the Bulls and Atlanta were to finish tied their divisional win percentage could decide who gets the higher seed. Atlanta currently is 7-8 versus division foes while the Bulls are 6-8 with matches against the Bucks and Pistons remaining.
A win would force Chicago to win both matches against Milwaukee and Detroit to push the tiebreak decision to conference win percentage or the next level which is win percentage against Eastern playoff teams.
Stats
Atlanta ranks fourth in scoring, averaging 118.1 points per game while they shoot 48.1%, from the field and 35.3% from the perimeter ranking ninth and 21st respectively.
On defense, opponents score 118.1 points ranking 25th while foes register 48.6% field goal percentage and 35.6% perimeter percentage ranking 25th and 11th respectively.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Trae Young, PG (questionable —illness)
- Jalen Johnson SF (OUT indefinitely —knee)

Free Washington Wizards vs. Atlanta Hawks NBA Prediction:
This should be an easy win for the Hawks regardless of who suits up. Moreover, Atlanta is invested in winning while Washington is invested in losing.
The question is whether the Wizards will mail it in and allow Atlanta to rout them by double-digits. I’m banking they won’t since the Bucks were the only opponent in Washington’s three recent losses that won by double-digits.
