Washington continues to roll as an original underdog coming into the 2015 Playoffs, beating Atlanta in Game 1. This is the second straight year the Wizards hold a 1-0 advantage over the Eastern Conference top seed.
The Hawks suffered a rare home loss, bringing that number to 7 this season.
Atlanta was being offered at a line of -7 with only a slight deviation to -6.5.
Inexperience prevented them from advancing further in 2014, but that may not be a problem this postseason, Stats LLC suggests.
For the daily fantasy sports player, Bradley Beal came through in a big way tying his playoff career high with 28 points. He also had a steal, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. Priced at $7.6K, Beal certainly provided some good bang for his bucks.
"Last year we were just happy to be in the playoffs, just happy we moved on. We didn't have many goals after the first round," Beal said. "This year, we expect more from ourselves. We're really focused on what we need to continue to do to move forward."
John Wall, though pricier at $9.4K, also exceeded value Sunday night against the Hawks.
Atlanta’s Al Horford ($7.9K) certainly did his part with 17 points, 17 rebounds and 7 assists along with a block and steal.
