Why The Wizards Can Cover The Spread

The Wizards have literally been a better basketball team than the Hawks this season, particularly on offense. Bradley Beal and Spencer Dinwiddie put a lot of pressure on opposing defenses, and the Wizards have other pieces that can do damage as well. The Wizards will be in good shape for a cover and even a win on Monday night if they keep pushing the pace offensively. The Hawks are a pretty good halfcourt defense, so getting some easier looks in transition could help the Wizards get into a better rhythm offensively. Beal and Dinwiddie are always a tough cover, so the Wizards are a pretty sound play with the points on Monday night vs. the Hawks, despite being on the road.

Why The Hawks Can Cover The Spread

The Hawks have struggled offensively this season, there's really no way around it. They have mostly beaten bad teams, and haven't looked that sharp offensively even in their wins. They will need to bring a better effort on that end of the floor if they are going to avenge the 122-111 loss they look in Washington vs. the Wizards last week. Trae Young isn't getting the calls as much as he did last season, and while his numbers are still there, it has impacted his ability to control the flow of a game with his foul drawing. The Hawks can certainly rebound with a cover and win on Monday, but they will need to improve on what they have shown offensively so far this season if they are going to outscore Washington.

Final Wizards-Hawks Prediction & Pick

Take the Wizards and the points on Monday night as they have been the better team of late.
