Washington lost all three meetings with Atlanta this season
Atlanta Hawks got nothing to play for as they got a nine-game advantage as the top seed in the East, but are showing no signs of slowing down as they won four straight. The Hawks want to keep the momentum as they’ll need it for the playoffs, and won’t be resting any players as they visit Washington on Sunday.
Washington Wizards are #5 in the East and are fighting for home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. That’s the reason why they’re favored to win this game.
