For the fifth time this season, the Hawks and the Heat square off, only this time, the stakes are much higher.
Before betting on Hawks vs. Heat
Atlanta was one of the league’s most inconsistent teams, with the record frequently shifting between positive and negative due to their one-loss-one-win routine. After all, they ended the year at .500 with 41 defeats and triumphs.
The Hawks’ best player and their biggest star is Trae Young. Though, despite this guy being one of the most popular faces in the league, his reputation will take a hit if the Hawks experience another failure in the postseason. Atlanta’s aggressive moves in free agency haven’t been enough to overcome the fact that this unit solely depends upon Trae, and they haven’t upgraded the Hawks in any possible way.
Despite being predicted to be one of the top three teams in the East, the Miami Heat ended up having a subpar season. This unit used to have one of the league’s most dynamic and mixed offenses, which faded away as time went by.
Miami ranks among the worst offenses in the league (30th ppg) and has one of the poorest shooting percentages. Their defense is the only reason they are competitive, allowing the second-least number of points per game.

We believe this is the perfect timing for the Heat to snap and lose. They don’t have proper chemistry for a long time, so it’s no wonder Miami didn’t use its potential. The Hawks are coming without pressure and have already shown they know to beat the Heat, so we pick the guests to win.
