What to Know
The Wizards are 1-9 against the Hawks since November of 2021 but they’ll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Saturday. The Washington Wizards will head out on the road to face off against the Atlanta Hawks at 7:30 p.m. ET at State Farm Arena. The Wizards are limping into the game on a six-game losing streak.
We saw a pretty high 252-over/under line set for the Wizards’ previous contest, but the actual score was more down to earth. They took a 112-104 hit to the loss column at the hands of Indiana on Wednesday. That’s two games in a row now that the Wizards have lost by exactly eight points.
Despite the loss, the Wizards got a solid performance out of Jordan Poole, who scored 28 points along with seven assists and three steals. Poole continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he’s played.
Meanwhile, the point spread may have favored the Hawks on Friday, but the final result did not. They took a 126-108 bruising from Indiana. The Hawks have struggled against the Pacers recently, as their contest on Friday was their third consecutive lost matchup.
Dejounte Murray put forth a good effort for the losing side as he scored 29 points along with three steals.
Washington has been struggling recently, as they’ve lost nine of their last ten games, which put a noticeable dent in their 6-31 record this season. As for Atlanta, their defeat dropped their record down to 15-22.
The Wizards are hoping to beat the odds on Saturday, as the experts think they’re headed for a loss. This contest will be their 30th straight as the underdogs (so far over this stretch they are 13-15-1 against the spread).
This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: The Wizards haven’t given up the ball easily this season, having only averaged 13.5 turnovers per game. However, it’s not like the Hawks struggle in that department as they’ve been averaging only 13 turnovers per game. Given these competing strengths, it’ll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.

Braves News: NBP pieces falling into place, slow market, more
Well the NBP posted players all seem to be settled now, with Imai and Okamoto having signed with an MLB club and Takahashi returning to the NBP. Those players do not seem to have sparked movement in the overall market, either in free agency or in trades, at least so far, as this offseason continues to be glacial. Hopefully things pick up a bit as we get more separation from the holidays. The Braves still seem to be motivated to make a big addition, but this front office has shown that the right deal has to be there for them to pull the trigger.

Business damaged as 500 teens swarm Atlantic Station
A large police presence responded to Atlantic Station on Saturday
ATLANTA – Atlanta police say nearly 500 teenagers caused a massive disturbance at Atlantic Station Saturday night, launching fireworks into crowds and eventually drawing real gunfire outside the district.
Atlantic Station chaos
The backstory:
Atlanta police originally responded to the shopping center after 7 p.m. following reports of shots fired. While investigators quickly determined the sounds were actually fireworks being ignited by a large crowd of “unruly” juveniles, the situation turned more dangerous as the crowd was dispersed.
“It can escalate from firecrackers to now its guns to life being taken. That’s something we don’t want,” said John Williams, who was visiting the area.
As officers cleared the mall, a group of teenagers allegedly began firing actual guns near Spring Street NW and 17th Street.
Shooting outside Atlantic Station
What they’re saying:
The gunfire sent patrons at Nan Thai Fine Dining ducking for cover.
“Definitely about 30 shots,” said Jedi Niyomkul, the restaurant’s general manager. “I’m making sure everyone is on the ground because we do have a lot of glass.”
Niyomkul said the restaurant was hit by at least one bullet. He expressed frustration that the crowd was pushed out of the mall but not adequately monitored once they crossed into the surrounding city streets.
“Once they got them across the bridge, there was no patrol over on this side to make sure that they dispersed,” Niyomkul said. “Literally at 17th and Spring, right there, 100 to 150 kids just sitting all around the corner, doing absolutely nothing, just looking for trouble.”
Atlantic Station curfew
Dig deeper:
The disturbance occurred despite Atlantic Station’s strict codes of conduct. The district enforces a 3 p.m. curfew for anyone under 18, requiring them to be with a parent or guardian. Additionally, no one under 21 is allowed on the property after 9 p.m.
Atlanta City Council member Michael Julian Bond said the city must find a more consistent way to manage large groups of youth.
“We again manage this population policy-wise, more than any other segment than our society, so we all got to step up year-round in how we manage that population,” Bond said.
