Current Records: Washington 5-1; Atlanta 3-3

What to Know

After three games on the road, the Atlanta Hawks are heading back home. Atlanta and the Washington Wizards will face off in a Southeast Division battle at 7:30 p.m. ET Monday at State Farm Arena. Washington will be strutting in after a win while the Hawks will be stumbling in from a loss.

Atlanta found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 122-94 punch to the gut against the Philadelphia 76ers this past Saturday. Atlanta was down 89-69 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. Small forward Cam Reddish (16 points) was the top scorer for Atlanta.

Meanwhile, it may have taken double overtime to finish the job, but the Wizards ultimately got the result they were hoping for this past Saturday with a 115-112 victory over the Boston Celtics. Having forecasted a close victory for Washington, the oddsmakers were right on the money. Their shooting guard Bradley Beal looked sharp as he had 36 points and six assists in addition to seven boards.

The Hawks are now 3-3 while Washington sits at 5-1. A pair of stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Atlanta comes into the contest boasting the fourth fewest fouls per game in the league at 17.5. But Washington ranks first in the league when it comes to fouls drawn per game, with 21.8 on average. The ref's whistle might dictate the flow of action in this one.
