Hawks at Heat picks and predictions

Prediction

Heat 114, Hawks 106

Moneyline

PASS.

I like the Heat to win here, but a -255 favorite is too risky to bet on. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN HEAT -6.5 (-108).

Miami is 2-1-1 ATS in its last 4 games and has covered ATS in 3 of its last 4 home games. The Heat have also covered ATS in back-to-back games vs. Atlanta. Miami is also the better ATS team this year, being 19-21-1 while Atlanta is 10-30.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 230.5 (-110).

The Under has hit in 4 consecutive games for Miami and is 8-2 in Miami's last 10 overall. The Under has also hit in 4 consecutive games for Atlanta and is 5-1 in the Hawks' last 6 overall. The Under is 4-1 in the last 5 Atlanta-Miami matchups and has hit in 8 of the last 10 meetings.
