Hawks vs. Wizards Over 223.5 Points

The point total has increased two points since the morning line. This marks the first meeting between the teams since the beginning of November. Expect plenty of points to be put on the board tonight as each of the first two games of the series saw at least 229 points totaled. Furthermore, according to Awesemo’s NBA projections, more than 225 points will be scored in the game.

Atlanta has the second-most efficient offense in the league, and the Hawks are averaging over 115 points a game over their last 15 contests. They have posted an effective field goal percentage of 55.3% during this stretch while also protecting the ball well. Meanwhile, the Hawks have struggled mightily on the defensive all season long as they rank 27th in defensive efficiency. Moreover, Atlanta does not force many turnovers, and it has permitted its opponents to record an effective field goal percentage of 54.5%.

Meanwhile, the Wizards are a decent shooting team and they do not turn over the ball. Their real problem is on the defensive end, specifically their inability to force turnovers and keep opponents off the offensive glass. Washington has permitted its opponents to score at least 112 points in six of its last nine outings. OddsShopper gives the over a 53% chance of hitting with an expected ROI of 1%.

Magic Spread (+7.0) Over Raptors

Just believe that the point spread is too high. Orlando has been playing decently well, although Wendell Carter Jr. may not play due to an illness. Carter has been terrific over the last 10 games, producing 17.1 points and 10.3 boards a game, while shooting 58% from the field, so there is a slight concern about the Magic covering if he cannot go. However, taking Orlando in the matchup has more to do with Toronto’s recent form. The Raptors are coming off a terrible shooting performance in their 108-106 loss to the Pistons last night, marking their third loss in the previous five games. The Raptors have not shot the ball well overall, particularly from deep, and they only have a +2.4 average point differential in the second leg of back-to-backs this season. Plus, they are dealing with a few key injuries, with Fred VanVleet having already been ruled out while Thaddeus Young (illness) is questionable. Toronto is 5-5 in games VanVleet has missed this year.

Jaden McDaniels Under 11.5 Points

The point total seems just a little too high, as McDaniels is projected for 9.73 points tonight. While he is averaging nearly 12 points a game on 50.6% shooting over his last 1o appearances, those numbers are a little bloated as he is not a great shooter and rarely gets to the charity stripe. He has compiled 20 points on less than 43% shooting from the floor in two games against the Thunder this year. Plus, McDaniels has failed to tally at least 11 points in three of his last five games, averaging fewer than eight points in 25 games as a starter. OddsShopper gives the under a 63% chance of hitting with an expected ROI of 25%.
