Atlanta Hawks

The Hawks approach the matchup with Miami with a streak of three straight losses. The first game of this bad stretch took place before the All-Star break. On the road, Quin Snyder's team lost to New York in overtime - 148:149 (137:137). Then, after the restart of the championship, Atlanta first failed to cope with Orlando (108:114) on their home court, leading by 17 points, and then lost to Detroit in a very effective game - 143:148.

The Hawks have an overall winning balance of 26-31. In the Eastern Conference standings, Trae Young and company are in ninth place and are 4.0 wins behind the playoff zone. Also note that with a good offense Atlanta during the season has not been able to solve the problems in defense, misses 119.1 points per game on average and is located on this indicator in 26th place this season.

Miami Heat

The Heat, after the restart of the championship, played two games and in the first game broke a series of losses from four consecutive meetings. On the road, the team was stronger than Toronto in overtime - 120:111 (107:107). However, in the very next game, Miami may have started a new series of failures. On the road, the Heat imposed a struggle, but failed to cope with Milwaukee - 113:120.

In the East standings, the Heat are one spot higher than Atlanta, that is, they are in eighth place. The gap from the top-6 is 3.5 wins, and Miami's main problem is the offensive game. The Floridians are 24th in offensive efficiency rating, scoring just 110.0 points per game on average.

H2H Meetings

The score in the season series is 1:0 in favor of Atlanta.

Miami took three games out of four from the Heat in last season's championship.

Expert Betting Tips

Miami, as a whole, is superior to Atlanta in terms of roster, and it's no coincidence that they are higher in the standings - the same Bam Adebayo and Tyler Hirro, for example, even played in the NBA Finals. We believe that this disposition will remain until the end of the regular season and, in particular, the results of the upcoming game. We bet here on Miami's victory, and also, taking into account Atalanta's imbalance on offense, we expect a productive game.
