Heat vs. Hawks Predictions
Dating back to the 2018-19 season, Miami has beaten Atlanta in 15 of the last 21 meetings. Will that trend continue in Miami on Tuesday?
The Heat are a strong defensive team, and they know how to handle the Hawks biggest weapon: Trae Young. The Atlanta point guard has struggled against Miami this season, shooting 35% from the field in four games against the Eastern Conference foe. That includes just 20% shooting from behind the arc.
Meanwhile, Miami superstar Jimmy Butler has thrived against the Hawks, and that could be the difference in this game. Look for the Heat to pull this one out at home and cover the spread.
