The 30-32 Atlanta Hawks have won four of six as they take on the 28-33 Washington Wizards tonight at 7:00 PM EST.

These teams have played twice this year and split the two games, with the Hawks winning by seven in November and the Wizards winning by 11 in October. But it's been a while and now the Wizards are without Bradley Beal and have traded away Spencer Dinwiddie.

Can the Hawks handle the Wizards on the road or will Washington take advantage of a deficient Atlanta defense to cover the small number at home?

Here are the odds via WynnBET:

Hawks vs Wizards Prediction and Pick

Atlanta has played well recently, knocking off Chicago in their last game, but have been terrible on the road. They're 10-20 against the spread (ATS) on the road this year and have covered just twice in their last 10.

But a game against Washington may be just what they need to get back on track away from the friendly confines of State Farm Arena. The Wizards are 23-37-1 ATS on the season and 5-13-2 in their previous 20 contests. This spread is in line with the first two matchups between these squads, but Washington had Beal and Dinwiddie then.

They're much worse now, and I expect the Hawks to take care of business. Atlanta desperately needs wins to stay afloat in the playoff hunt and should be fully focused the rest of the way.

The Hawks are a ridiculous 10-2 ATS in their last dozen as a favorite while Washington is 3-9 in their last dozen as an underdog. This spread should be a few points higher and I'm sticking with Ice Trae to keep Atlanta rolling on the road.

Pick: Hawks -4 (-110)
