Betting on the Atlanta Hawks
- Regular Season Record: 41-41
The Hawks finished the regular season with an exact .500 record of 41-41. They had a golden opportunity to wind up with an above-.500 record but the Hawks lost their final two games, including a 120-14 road loss in the finale versus the Boston Celtics last Sunday. However, Atlanta’s scoring has kicked it up a notch of late, notwithstanding its recent losses.
On the season, the Hawks are averaging 118.4 points per game, which is already third overall in the league, but over their last 10 games, they have generated 126.2 points on 49.8 percent shooting from the field. Dejounte Murray and John Collins have also been very efficient of late, as they’ve put up 20.0 and 17.3 points over their last four games, respectively, while both shot better than 50 FG% in that span.
Betting on the Miami Heat
- Regular Season Record: 44-38
Miami is in good form heading into the Play-in Tournament. The Heat have won their most recent outing, beating the Orlando Magic last Sunday at home, 123-110, so that also means that they don’t have to hit the road and be at risk of travel fatigue ahead of their showdown with Trae Young and company.
Moreover, the Heat have won four of their last five outings, including one against a serious NBA title contender in the form of the Philadelphia 76ers on the road last week, 129-101. Miami isn’t among the highest-scoring teams in the league. In fact, it is last overall with only 109.5 points per game, but it cuts teams down to size with its defense. The Heat enter the NBA Play-in Tournament second in the league with just 109.8 points allowed per contest.
JefeBet Prediction
The Heat, who are 3-1 against Atlanta this season, find a way to contain the Hawks with some timely baskets in the clutch to pull away and score a victory.
Prediction: Heat win, 119-113.
