Hawks at Heat picks and predictions
Prediction
Heat 115, Hawks 110
Moneyline
PASS.
Although I think the Heat (-155) will win they haven’t been consistent enough lately to risk the extra juice in what might be a tight game.
Atlanta (+135) also hasn’t been good enough on the road to wager on here, despite the plus-money odds. It is just 14-19 straight up away from State Farm Arena.
Against the spread
LEAN HEAT -2.5 (-115).
The Hawks are just 14-18-1 ATS this season on the road and while the Heat haven’t been great for betters either, they were able to defeat the Hawks by 8 points Saturday as they limited Hawks G Trae Young. Miami shot 7 fewer free throws and had 3 more turnovers and still managed to secure the victory.
Expect Miami to be better in the rematch, and that should aid their ability to produce a similar result. The Heat would have covered this spread in their last 5 home games against Atlanta.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 229.5 (-115).
The Heat are 1-4 O/U in their last 5 games and have scored 110 or fewer points in 8 of their last 10. It has been their defense that has been problematic lately, and they still held Atlanta to 109 Saturday.
The Hawks are 0-2 O/U in their last 2 outings and 4-6 O/U in their last 10 games. Against G Jimmy Butler and C Bam Adebayo, the Hawks’ dynamic backcourt may struggle.
