The books believe the Hawks will be competitive as the Heat are only -1.5 with a total of 221.<\/p>\n Heat Are Sizzling<\/h3>\nThe Heat have looked like the dominant team by far as their switches on defense has really taken Trae Young\u2019s effectiveness away.<\/p>\n They also have gotten contributions from all over the place making it hard for Atlanta to key in on someone. Duncan Robinson had 28 points to lead the team, then the next game played 7 minutes with 0 points while Butler went off for 45.<\/p>\n We haven\u2019t seen a big Adebayo game yet, but it\u2019s coming as the Hawks remain without Capela. They\u2019ve held the Hawks to 22-76 from three point range, and if those numbers continue the Heat will be looking at a 3-0 lead.<\/p>\n Hawks Not Soaring<\/h3>\nThe stat that has been floating around social media is that the Hawks are now 0-41 ATS when they lose, and they haven\u2019t covered a game yet this season where they are an underdog. It\u2019s only -1 point tonight, but it\u2019s tough to go against trends like that.<\/p>\n It\u2019s no secret they miss Capela, and they just don\u2019t have the team defense to keep up. They\u2019re going to have to get Trae going, and looking at last game Trae went for 25-6-7 and Bogdanovic went for 29 points and they still lost by 10.<\/p>\n Other guys need to stop up on offense, and then they need to buckle it up on defense to have a chance.<\/p>\n Hawks vs Heat Prediction<\/h2>\nMiami has scored 115 in both games, and the team total is 110.5 for tonight, and I don\u2019t see where the defense comes from for Atlanta that will be so different.<\/p>\n Atlanta has no interior presence without Capela and the perimeter of Atlanta can\u2019t contain everyone. I think the offense will get a jolt from the home crowd, but I expect Miami to be able to score at will again tonight.<\/p>\n Prediction: Miami Heat Over 110.5 Team Total<\/strong><\/p>\n \n |
