Play: Washington Wizards
Rating: 8/10*

The Washington Wizards picked up a 7-point win in Game 1 of this first round playoff series, and I think they'll head to Atlanta with a 2-0 lead and cover the spread in tonight's victory. The Wizards showed good aggression in the opener forcing 21 turnovers, and it's impressive to score 114 points despite going just 8-for-28 from 3-point range. Atlanta's Dwight Howard was held to just seven points, and if the Wizards can contain him again this will be an easy win for the home side with its big edge in the backcourt.
