After splitting Games One and Two in Atlanta, the Hawks will look to steal home court advantage back and avoid going down 3-1.<\/p>\n If Atlanta hopes to steal Game 4 on the road, they’ll need their starters to step up much more this time around. The starters combined scored just 51 points in the game with 18 made field goals.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63727&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n The bench got Atlanta back in it with a 17-0 run in what seemed what was just garbage time for the starters to get some rest. With 14 seconds left Mike Muscala drilled a game tying three pointer. Muscala played a playoff high 13 minutes in the Game 3 loss.<\/p>\n The go to guy who has kept the Hawks in this series has been DeMarre Carroll. Carroll only scored 14 points in Game 3, but said he was struggling with some “physical problems.”<\/p>\n The Wizards are playing with a lot of swagger and toughness as they look to control home court Monday night. Losing just 1 playoff game this season, Washington avoided what would have been a monumental collapse as Paul Pierce banked in a game winning shot and put the brakes to the Hawks run.<\/p>\n Pierce has made at least three 3 point shots in every game this series.<\/p>\n The Wizards did have some bad news come their way as it looks as though John Wall will not be back for the remainder of this series. Wall is battling a wrist injury and has yet to even dribble a basketball as of Monday morning.<\/p>\n With Wall out, the pressure shifts to Bradley Beal. Beal scored 17 points and dished out 8 assists in the Game Three win, and will have even more of a load on his back with Wall out. He’ll need to pick up both the scoring and the defensive end stops that Wall provided.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63741&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n Washington has received an unexpected boost from Otto Porter Jr. as well in this series. Porter Jr. is averaging 14 points and 9 rebounds a game against Atlanta thus far.<\/p>\n Atlanta did drop Game Three, but they exposed some weaknesses in Washington without Wall being in the lineup. <\/p>\n The Hawks even things up here as they take out Washington and steal back home court advantage.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=64991&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NBA Predictions: Hawks vs Wizards Picks NBA playoff betting action\u00a0sees the Atlanta Hawks\u00a0taking on the\u00a0Washington Wizards\u00a0at the Verizon Center, in Washington, District of Columbia.
