Miami Heat at Atlanta Hawks - 11/27/22 NBA Picks and Prediction

The Miami Heat and the Atlanta Hawks duke it out at the State Farm Arena on Sunday night.

The Miami Heat have been searching for consistency as they’ve lost six of their last 11 games, but they will be aiming for a third straight victory after sneaking past the Wizards in a 110-107 home win on Friday. Bam Adebayo led the team with 38 points, 12 rebounds and three assists on 15 of 22 shooting, Caleb Martin added 20 points on seven of 11 shooting, Kyle Lowry added 13 points with eight assists while Tyler Herro chipped in with 11 points and 10 assists. As a team, the Heat shot 47 percent from the field and seven of 26 from the 3-point line but they really had to work in this one as they were sloppy to start the game and had to claw their way back after allowing the Wizards to pour in 38 points in the first quarter. Defensively, the Heat started slowly, but they got better as the game wore on and they were impressive when it mattered most as they held the Wizards to just nine points in the final 6:30 to escape with the narrow win.

Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks have been in a bit of a rut as they’ve lost four of their last seven games and they will be hoping to bounce back after falling to the lowly Rockets in a 128-122 road loss on Friday. Trae Young led the team with 44 points and five assists while Dejounte Murray drained eight 3-pointers to finish with 39 points on 14 of 24 shooting. As a team, the Hawks shot 47 percent from the field and 15 of 39 from the 3-point line as they poured in 104 points in the first three quarters to build a 16-point lead, but they couldn’t put the game on ice and eventually fell victim to a ferocious comeback from the Rockets to see the game slip from their hands. DeAndre Hunter scored just eight points on three of 12 shooting while John Collins shot just two of seven for his eight points and two blocks.
