Wizards vs Hawks prediction

Wizards vs Hawks best bet: Jalen Johnson Over 7.5 assists (-145)

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson was deservedly an All-Star earlier this month as he continues to thrive in a career year. He's developed into a tremendous playmaker, ranking fifth in the Association in assists, averaging 8.1 per game.

While he’s only hit the Over once in three games since the break, Johnson is up against the horrendous Washington Wizards tonight, who are allowing the second-most assists per game in the NBA. 

He’s also averaged 9.5 dimes against Washington this season across two meetings. He’ll pick them apart.
