Atlanta Hawks: topicality and form
Atlanta is not getting there this season: only 12th in the East, far from their playoff goals, the Hawks continue to tumble in the standings and seem doomed to the bottom places, while they already have 4 behind Washington, 8th. Weighted down by an overdue defense, averaging 111.5 points per game since the start of the season, or the 25th overall in the NBA, Nate McMillan’s team is much more at ease offensively and, with 110.8 points scored per game, is the 9th best attack in the league. Faced with a solid Miami team in defense, the Hawks will therefore have to be particularly effective on both sides of the field.
Atlanta Hawks: players to watch
As expected, point guard Trae Young continues to hold the bar in Atlanta, turning 28 points, 4 rebounds and 9.6 assists this season, but the American player seems quite isolated. If John Collins (17.5 points, 7.9 rebounds) and Clint Capela (11.8 points, 13.1 rebounds) still respond, the Hawks do not seem to have really varied options.
Miami Heat: news and form
Miami’s record is very different: 3rd in the East with a victory behind Brooklyn, 2nd, the Heat has won 7 of its last 10 games and remains on 2 consecutive successes, once morest Portland (109-115) and Phoenix (100-123). Relatively comfortable away from home with 13 wins and 11 losses on the clock, Miami will want to improve its statistics by winning tonight and will rely for this on its iron defense: with 104.2 points conceded per game, the players Erik Spoelstra are the 4th defensive force in the NBA, making up for a less effective attack, as the Heat have registered 108.4 points per game this season.
Miami Heat: players to watch
If the Heat have a very threatening Big 3 on paper with Victor Oladipo, Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler, the 3 players are currently injured and Miami had to find other leaders, allowing young Tyler Herro to continue his outbreak , he who runs at 20.6 points, 4.9 points and 3.9 rebounds on average this season. Kyle Lowry also contributes to the success of his team, the experienced player bringing 13.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and most importantly 8.4 assists to the scales.
Major Five:
Atlanta Hawks
-
Young
-
Huerter
Bogdanovic
-
Chapel
(uncertain)
Collins
Miami Heat
-
Lowry
-
Martin
Herro
-
Yurtseven
Tucker
Although diminished by many injuries, the Heat seem to have found their rhythm and will want to take advantage of an Atlanta team in full lack of confidence and undoubtedly deprived of Clint Capela. Miami might well get rid of the Hawks.

The American leader is in good shape and should once once more carry his team. 4th leading scorer and 3rd best assisting in the league, Trae Young wears Atlanta this season and seeing him put in another great performance tonight seems very possible.
