Key Stats
Atlanta Hawks
The Atlanta Hawks are coming off their 98-86 win two days ago against this team. Trae Young was excellent despite his inefficacies in terms of scoring the ball. Young would finish with only 11 points on 4/14 shooting, including 0/7 from three. He would finish the game with 14 assists and a team-high +26 when he was on the floor. Dyson Daniels recorded a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds. Daniels added seven steals as well. With a record of 27-31 on the season, the Hawks sit in 8th place in the Eastern Conference.
Defensively, the Hawks are a below-average team. They are ranked 27th in points allowed per game, 29th in opponent field goal percentage, 24th in opponent 3-point field goal percentage, 10th in blocks per game, 2nd in steals per game, 11th in rebounds per game, and 15th in defensive rating. Regarding injuries, there hasn’t been anyone new added to the injury report. Over their last ten games, the Atlanta Hawks have a record of 5-5, including 8-2-0 against the spread in that same stretch of games.
Miami Heat
With the Miami Heat losing to the Atlanta Hawks two days ago, they are looking to avenge their 98-86 loss. Tyler Herro was terrible in the loss, with only 11 points on 4/19 shooting, including 0/9 from three. Andrew Wiggins would lead the team in scoring with 23 points while shooting 6/14 from the floor, including a team-low -17 when he was on the floor. Rookie center Kel’el Ware was fine with eight points and 15 rebounds. With the Miami Heat having a record of 26-30 on the season, they sit in 9th place in the Eastern Conference.
Defensively, the Miami Heat are an above-average team. They are ranked 7th in points allowed per game, 11th in opponent field goal percentage, 13th in opponent 3-point field goal percentage, 30th in blocks per game, 20th in steals per game, 17th in rebounds per game, and 10th in defensive rating. Regarding injuries, Bam Adebayo is listed as questionable with a calf injury. If he can’t go, that hurts the Heat’s chances mightily in this game. They have a record of 3-7 in their last ten games, including a record of 3-6-1 against the spread.
Prediction
The Atlanta Hawks will pull off the upset and defeat the Miami Heat on the road. The Hawks defeated this team just two days ago. I don’t expect Trae Young to have as bad of a shooting night two games in a row against the same opponent. Despite his inefficiencies, he was still a +26 on the floor and dished out 14 assists. I believe the Nikola Jovic injury will continue to rear its ugly head, and the bench unit of the Heat will continue to struggle. The Hawks enter South Beach and come away with the win as they pull off the upset against the Miami Heat.
Final Pick
Atlanta Hawks ML (+120)
