The Wizards are in position to finish off the Hawks after going out to the front yet again with a Game Five victory in our nation’s capital on Wednesday.

Washington Wizards at Atlanta Hawks Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
So far in this series, the home team is 5-0 straight up and had covered in the last four contests previous to Game Five. Atlanta would finally generate a win against the spread as the underdog after the Wizards were offered as a 5.5-point choice for the third consecutive meeting in D.C. The number was poised to set up Wizards takers for a let-down as they had been successful coming in over that number in their two previous efforts in this series.

Washington Wizards at Atlanta Hawks Prediction
The Wizards have had their woes on the road this year but let’s not forget that prior to Atlanta winning Game Three and Game Four at home, the Wizards had won five in a row against the Birds regardless of where the contest transpired. Contrary to what may have occurred in this series, the Hawks do not own an overwhelming home court advantage compared to other NBA franchises. Atlanta was 23-18 SU at home previous to Game Three and Game Four and they have more or less played mediocre basketball since the All-Star Break. Atlanta at one point was ranked as high as third in the East and their play allowed Washington to usurp them for the Southeast Division credentials. Given the reaction of the public to Atlanta covering in Game Five, we would expect to see what is taking shape here to manifest. Ultimately this situation sets up Atlanta for a let-down by virtue of an over-reaction to takers getting beat on that 5.5-number all series long. Perfect time to buy the better team with enhanced points.
