Betting on the Atlanta Hawks
- Regular Season Record: 31-31.
The Atlanta Hawks closed out a home series with a game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday. Now, the team will have to travel to a foreign court to try to achieve a good result that will keep it in the eighth position of the general standings in the Eastern Conference.
Atlanta’s away numbers have not been good this season, as it has been defeated in 18 of the 32 games it has played so far. This poor performance is probably due to the team’s poor defensive record, averaging 117 points allowed per game.
Meanwhile, the team’s offensive department is the one that has been the most impressive this campaign, averaging 116.9 points per game, which makes this team the eighth franchise with the best record so far in that aspect.
Betting on the Miami Heat
- Regular Season Record: 33-30.
Miami Heat will also have to play on consecutive days after facing New York Knicks. This game against Atlanta will be the third of a six-game series at the Miami Dade Arena. Although, the series did not start in the best way, as the team suffered a resounding loss to the 76ers.
Even if the Heat are in seventh place in the Eastern Conference, they should be wary of jeopardizing their position with the results they have reached in recent games. This is said because, before the duel against the Knicks, they had lost 5 of their last 6 games played.
The Miami Heat are still the second-best team on defense, but they have been more vulnerable than usual in that aspect in recent weeks, which found a clear example in the 120 points the Philadelphia team scored against them.
JefeBet Prediction
The Miami Heat should be able to pull off this game, but to do so, they must once again try to succeed in their main game strategy, neutralizing their opponent, which they did in the last game they played against Atlanta team at home, defeating it 94-97.
Moreover, the home team has had an acceptable performance when it comes to seeing activity without having any rest days, winning 5 of the 9 games it has played. On the other hand, the Hawks have felt the fatigue setting in, losing 6 of 8 games played.
Therefore, the homeowners are expected to achieve an important victory in order to stay in the playoffs.
Prediction: Miami Heat Moneyline (ATL 101-107 MIA).
