Wizards vs. Hawks Prediction: Is the Hawks’ Large Spread a Trap?
The Hawks are laying 13 at home against a depleted Wizards squad, but the efficiency math projects just a 6.6-point margin. Washington’s 12-9 in clutch games despite their brutal record, and Atlanta’s just 11-16 at State Farm Arena. The market’s disrespecting Washington here.
