Washington has struggled as of late with a 3-7 record in their last ten games. Part of the reason why they are eliminated already from the playoffs is because their inability to win on the road.

Wizards vs. Hawks Prediction
I love the over in this game. Both of these defenses are awful and let up a ton of points. Plus, both of these teams offenses can catch lightning in a bottle and put up a lot of points quickly. Both of these teams have scored 100+ plus points in their last ten games. Look for a ton of points in this game and take the over. This will be a very high scoring game.
