Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Onyeka Okongwu's steal numbers have been more modest than menacing when the Atlanta Hawks have home-court advantage. Clocking an average of just 0.2 steals in his last five home games, Okongwu's fingers have been far from the cookie jar. Even when we broaden the parameters to his past five overall performances, his average only bumps up to 0.8 steals. Against the Washington Wizards, he's typically maintained this trajectory, averaging 0.8 steals and just tipping the scale at 1 steal at home. These numbers paint a clear picture: Okongwu's steal rate is more likely to dip below 1.5. With a home hit rate of 6/6 and an expected stat value of 0.82, the under 1.5 steals for Okongwu is a compelling play for the night. So, when the Hawks host the Wizards, bet bravely on Okongwu playing it safe in the steals department.

Atlanta Hawks vs Washington Wizards : Atlanta Hawks Over 113.5 Team Total Points (-556)

The Atlanta Hawks are hosting the Washington Wizards and all indicators suggest a high-scoring affair. The Hawks have been impressive on their own turf, securing 3 wins out of the last 5 games. But, what's really noteworthy is their scoring prowess at home. Over the last five games, they've averaged a whopping 127.2 points. That's significantly higher than the 113.5 point line we're considering, suggesting the Hawks could easily surpass it. Plus, the Wizards aren't exactly defensive stalwarts. Their opponents have been averaging 124.6 points over the last five games. So, while the model prediction is slightly lower at 112.36 points, the recent home performance of the Hawks, combined with the Wizards' lackluster defense, make a compelling case for the Hawks to score over 113.5 points.
