Atlanta Hawks Betting Preview 

The Atlanta Hawks have been on fire as they’ve won 19 of their last 23 games overall and they will be eager to stay hot after blowing past the shorthanded Cavaliers in a 124-102 home win on Friday.

Meanwhile, the Miami Heat have been doing it tough, as they’ve lost 10 of their last 14 games overall, but they will be feeling a little better after they snapped a two-game skid with a 140-117 win over the Wizards on Friday. Simone Fontecchio and Pelle Larsson each scored 24 points; Jaime Jaquez Jr. added 23 points with eight assists, while Bam Adebayo tallied 20 points with 11 rebounds and eight assists.

As a team, the Heat shot a sizzling 60 percent from the field and 20 of 37 from the 3-point line as they moved the ball with great efficiency from the start of the game to jump out to a double-digit lead, which allowed them to cruise in the second half after taking a 25-point lead.

Atlanta Hawks vs Miami Heat Prediction

The Hawks are keeping an eye on Dyson Daniels, Jonathan Kuminga, CJ McCollum and Jalen Johnson, who are all questionable, while the Heat have ruled out Nikola Jovic and Dru Smith again. The Heat have beaten the Hawks in two out of three meetings this season, but the Heat have been really struggling lately. The Hawks enter as one of the hottest teams in the league but could be without a bunch of players due to rest and injuries. I would be all over the Hawks if they were fully healthy, but with so many players likely out, I prefer a play on the Heat to get the win at home.
