Wizards +14.5
the wiz always play the Celtics tough. 14.5 is to many points IMO

Hawks -4.5
cause I'm a homer

Rockets -3.5
cause the Raptors suck

I dont advise anyone to follow these picks, fading may be your best bet

celtics will win by 26 most likely

Atlanta Hawks -4
Atlanta Hawks over 197

The Hawks will not lose for a third time in a row to Nets. Smith was out the first two games. Both previous games where high scoring 213 & 216 respectively and the Nets know the only chance they have to win this game is to outscore Hawks because they are very weak defensively. Don't get fooled by Nets last game. Both Pistons and Nets were playing with ejected or injured players for most of the game and the teams played many reserves which in turn slow down the game.
