Wizards vs Hawks NBA Cup Preview
The Wizards are absolutely fraudulent.
Schedule-adjusted, the Wizards have a bottom-10 offense and defense despite being 4-4.
I am tempted to just play Hawks moneyline, but unfortunately, my model still shows value on Washington against the 6.5-point spread.
However, the under has hit in seven straight Wizards games, and their defense is actually closer to functional than their offense.
The Wizards don’t take many three-pointers, which helps contain their offensive ceiling, and they are actually holding opponents to the second-lowest eFG% in the league.
The Hawks put up 120 on them Wednesday in DC, and the under still cruised.
Wizards vs Hawks Pick, Betting Analysis
I make this total 222.9, with nearly seven points of value on the under.
Washington’s defense has only allowed an opponent to go over its team total in one game, Wednesday against the Hawks.
I don’t think that will repeat with this line a point higher than the last game.
The Wizards’ offense is inept, their defense a little less so, and that’s the way I think this game falls below the number.
Pick: Under 228.5 Points (-128)
