The Atlanta Hawks will be taking on the Miami Heat tonight at State Farm Arena. The Hawks are currently 27-30 after a recent win over the Philadelphia 76ers, 117-107.
Atlanta is the ninth seed in the Eastern Conference while Miami is in eighth place. The Heat haven’t played a game since February 11th, when they beat the New Orleans Pelicans, 123-111. With the All-Star Break, the Heat may be rusty since it’s their first game back while it’s the Hawks’ second.
Game Prediction
The Hawks have made some moves recently, including the trade of Kristaps Porzingis and others. But they’ve been able to maintain their offensive prowess with players like forward Jalen Johnson, who’s averaged 23.5, 10.6 rebounds, and 8.1 assists per game as part of being named to the All-Star team.
Miami has won two out of their last four games as they continue to make a playoff push. Heat guard Norman Powell has been quite the addition to the team since leaving the Clippers, averaging 23 points per game for the Heat. Star center Bam Adebayo has been able to put up 18.4 points and 9.9 rebounds, leading the team on the boards. This will be the third matchup between the two this season, with them tying at 1-1, but the Hawks won their last game against the Heat in early February.
The Hawks will win against the Heat tonight, 110-104 in a close game.
