Hawks vs. Wizards

The Wizards are in limbo as they hold onto the tenth playoff spot by one game. They have a tough schedule down the stretch facing some of the top teams in the East and West.

The Hawks are just two games up on the Wizards in the standings. Atlanta beat Washington on Wednesday night and would love the sweep in this mini-series.

Clint Capela won the opening tip-off in that game, and Trae Young had the first basket. This now gives Capela back-to-back tip-off wins vs. Washington. Young has the most first baskets for the Hawks this season.

Pick: Trae Young (+600)
