Atlanta Hawks vs Washington Wizards Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/06/25

The Atlanta Hawks will be playing the second leg of a back-to-back situation when they visit the Washington Wizards on Saturday night. Zero days off, travel from Atlanta to Washington and the lingering feeling of a blown 23-point lead makes for a dreadful combination. As such, my Hawks vs Wizards prediction is on the home team to cover. The Hawks came out like gangbusters against the visiting Nuggets on Friday (Jalen Johnson had a triple-double by halftime), but Denver roared back for a 134-133 victory. A Trae Young-less Atlanta squad has now lost 3 straight games.

There is no doubt that the Hawks will be even further depleted on Sunday, as Kristaps Porzingis returned from an illness to take the court against Denver. Porzingis is not going to play both legs of a back-to-back in his current state — and possibly not in any state this season. Although the Wizards (3-18) are terrible, their most lopsided victory of the season has come against none other than these Hawks — a 132-113 beatdown in the nation’s capital on November 25. Washington may not make it 2 straight in the head-to-head, but at the very least it should cover a sizable spread in what is a favorable situational spot.

Hawks vs Wizards prediction: Washington +9.5 (-115) available at time of publishing. Playable to +9.
