Heat vs Hawks
Heat and Hawks Clash in Pivotal Matchup
Miami @ Atlanta
February 24 | 7:30pm ET | State Farm Arena
Grade B: Hawks Moneyline
The Miami Heat, aiming to break a recent two-game skid, face the Atlanta Hawks, who have won three of their last four games. The Heat are adjusting to the loss of guard Dru Smith, who suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon injury in December. In Smith's absence, veteran guard Kyle Lowry has stepped up, averaging 15.2 points and 6.8 assists over the past five games. The Hawks, meanwhile, are without guard Kobe Bufkin, sidelined for the season due to shoulder surgery. Trae Young continues to lead Atlanta's offense, posting 27.5 points and 9.3 assists per game this season. With both teams having played over 50 games, this contest holds significant playoff implications, as they vie for positioning in the Eastern Conference standings. Considering the Hawks' recent momentum and home-court advantage, betting on Atlanta's moneyline at +100 offers value. Prediction Grade: B
Grade B: Hawks +1

Grade B+: Under 228.5 Points
The Atlanta Hawks, currently on a three-game winning streak, have been showcasing an offensive resurgence, averaging 115 points per game during this stretch. Despite the season-ending loss of guard Kobe Bufkin due to shoulder surgery, the Hawks have found scoring depth from their bench. Conversely, the Miami Heat have been struggling defensively, allowing an average of 112 points over their last five games. The absence of guard Dru Smith, sidelined for the season with a torn Achilles tendon, has further thinned their defensive rotations. Historically, matchups between these two teams have been high-scoring affairs, with their last three meetings averaging a combined 230 points. Given Atlanta's offensive momentum and Miami's defensive challenges, betting on the over for the 228.5-point total appears favorable. Prediction Grade: B+
