Miami Heat at Atlanta Hawks Predictions & Tips

Miami are tipped to secure a playoff place with a second Play-In victory.

The Heat have found their identity since Jimmy Butler’s exit, and they can dominate short-handed Atlanta in the paint while Tyler Herro puts on another strong shooting performance.

Miami Heat Form

Miami have given themselves a second shot at advancing to the playoffs through the Play-In tournament.

The Heat went 37-45 during the regular season, and cost themselves home court advantage in the first round of the Play-In as they lost four times in their final six regular season games.

That rough run began with a 110-108 defeat at home to Memphis, and they then sandwiched a 117-105 win over Philadelphia with a 121-115 overtime loss to Milwaukee and a 119-111 defeat in Chicago.

Miami rebounded from the loss to the Bulls with a 153-104 blowout of New Orleans, only to close out the regular season with a 119-118 loss to Washington.

The Heat bounced back in the opening game of the Play-In though, as they took an early lead and never looked back in a comfortable 109-90 victory in Chicago.

Atlanta Hawks Form

Atlanta claimed a place in the Play-In Tournament by putting together a 40-42 regular-season record to finish eighth in the Eastern Conference.

The Hawks enjoyed a good run during the final seven days of the regular season as they won four times in their last five games.

They ended a three-game skid with a 147-134 victory over Utah, and then rebounded from a 119-112 loss in Orlando, with wins at Brooklyn, 133-109, and Philadelphia, 124-110.

Atlanta then made it three-in-a-row with a 117-105 victory at home to Orlando to close out the regular season.

The Hawks were unable to repeat that victory in the first round of the Play-In tournament though, as they were beaten 120-95 by the Magic on the road.

Verdict

MIA Heat @ ATL Hawks

Miami barely broke a sweat as they took down Chicago and we expect them to back it up.

The Heat match up very well against this Atlanta group, and Erik Spoelstra’s team are no strangers to this ‘win-and-you’re-in’ situation.
