Washington at Atlanta

The Atlanta Hawks needed a big game four to avoid falling to a 3-1 series deficit vs. Washington, and they got it done on the road. Washington has had to play most of this series without John Wall who remains out with a wrist injury. While Ramon Sessions has been an adequate replacement, he is not up to the level of Wall at running the team, and they will have a tough time on the road. The Hawks are very difficult to defend with their top six players all executing. The Hawks' top six average 86 points per game, 35.3 rebounds per game, and 24.9 assists per game in the playoffs. They can score from any position on the floor, and after taking game four on the road, they should duplicate the performance at home with renewed energy. That's a bad sign for the Wizards tonight as they have been a woeful 6-24-2 ATS in their last 32 after allowing 100+ in their previous game. Play the home team Hawks.
