Write up:
Atlanta has a great chance of being competitive with Nene out tonight. With the Brazilian out, Washington will start Gooden, as that’s obviously a big decrease in quality. The Hawks’ poor interior defense would get pounded by Nene down low, but Gooden is a mid-range shooter with no interest in attacking the rim whatsoever.
The Hawks have Carroll back and with him back in the lineup, the Hawks’ defense is now once again more consistent. Atlanta’s frontcourt with Horford and Millsap will also be a very tough match up for Washington and so, I expect this game to be a very close one. Therefore, I’ll be taking the Hawks tonight.
