Summary:
Washington is (6-4) in their last ten games while Atlanta is (4-6). The Hawks have lost three straight and failed to score 100 points in each of those games. These two teams have split their last ten head to head games. Washington is the more potent offensive team while Atlanta is stronger on the defensive end. Washington has a distinct advantage in scoring efficiency and perimeter shooting. Both teams thrive on forcing turnovers but Washington does a better job at taking care of the ball. The Wizards have been on quite the scoring binge as of late averaging 114.6 points per game in their last ten games. Washington is (27-10) at home this season whereas Atlanta is (18-15) on the road. The Wizards have been playing really well and are tough to beat at home so I like them to win on Wednesday.
