Now, let’s find out if Wall and the Wizards can get their second straight win and ATS cover after performing just as I predicted in Game 1. Find the latest NBA betting odds here.
The Hawk are 3-point home favorites while the total sits at 210 points when this game goes down on Friday, April 28, 2017 at 7:30 PM ET, live from Philip Arena in Atlanta while airing live on NBA TV.
Beal scored a team-high 27 points while Wall added 20 points and 14 assists in Washington’s 103-99 win in Game 5 while Otto Porter added 17 points and Bojan Bogdanovic chipped in 14 points. Now, the Wizards are hoping to become the first team in this series to win on the road.
“We know that we just gave up two (games) while were (in Atlanta),” Beal said. “At home we have a different edge about ourselves and we’re more locked in. We have to have the same approach down in Atlanta.”
Schroeder drained five threes in the game with his final one cutting Washington’s lead to 101-99 with 1:10 remaining, but the Hawks couldn’t finish as they missed their final two attempts from the field. Still, Schroeder is averaging an impressive 24.4 points and 7.2 assists in the series
“I think the confidence that he has, the aggressiveness and the competitiveness, all of those things rise this time of year on the road,” Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said of Schroeder. Paul Millsap added 21 points and 11 rebounds for the Hawks while Tim Hardaway Jr. chipped in 15. The Hawks say they plan on getting this series back to Washington for Game 7.
“We’ve got more business to take care of,” Hardaway said. “Get one on Friday, come back here and lay it all out on Sunday.”
Washington is just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games against a team with a winning record and 2-6 AT in its last eight road games. On the flip side of the coin, Atlanta has gone 5-0 ATS in their last five home games, 5-1 AT in their last six game following an ATS win and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games against a team with a winning record.
Atlanta wins and covers!
