Washington at Atlanta

Washington appeared to be an up and coming NBA team last season after years of struggling as a franchice. They won 46 games, but the odds makers had them pegged as they were 10 games under .500 ATS. This year they are one game under .500 and a fringe playoff team, but carry a winning spread record into Atlanta. Washington has some momentum as they have won four straight games and find themselves in their best role as a team. Washington owns a 57-25 ATS record in their last 82 as a dog against teams that are greater than .420, but less than .620. Atlanta won 60 regular season games a year ago, and won't come close to that this season, but they have won five straight and eight of nine. They have a losing ATS record vs. Washington since 2011, and the Wizards are in a great spot. Make the play on Washington.
