Washington Wizards vs Atlanta Hawks Final Score & Over/Under Result — Feb 24, 2026

Jonathan Kuminga led Atlanta to a 119–98 victory, posting 27 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists in a performance that anchored the Hawks' defensive grip. Washington entered the matchup having surrendered 123.3 points per game over its last ten, and the Wizards' shaky perimeter defense allowed Kuminga and Nickeil Alexander-Walker (16 points, 5 assists) to operate freely. Will Riley paced Washington with 18 points, supported by Justin Champagnie and Jamir Watkins each adding 14, but the trio could not generate enough offensive rhythm to keep pace.

The game unfolded in two distinct halves. A combined 103 points flowed in the first half—an unusually restrained pace that signaled caution from both benches. The third quarter broke that pattern dramatically, with 61 combined points (Atlanta's 40, Washington's 21) reshaping the contest decisively. Atlanta's 40-point quarter proved insurmountable; Washington's late-game surge in the fourth (34 points) came far too late to bridge a widening gap. A combined 217 points landed well beneath the 236.5 market total, finishing UNDER by 19.5. DAGGER leaned under pregame, and it cashed, as Atlanta's suffocating recent defensive profile (118.0 allowed per game) subdued a Washington offense already prone to struggle.
