Atlanta Hawks vs Miami Heat Prediction
This line is what it is, probably because the Miami Heat likely rest their key players after playing last night. Coaches aren’t trying to play guys into the ground in games that don’t count. With that said, as I’ve mentioned many times already, I like the Heat and points in preseason games. The Heat re one of those teas that plays hard regardless of circumstances. Building through the G League and undrafted players, the Heat gets great effort no matter who is on the floor because guys know they can carve out a career down there. Give me the points with the Heat.
