Miami Heat vs Atlanta Hawks Betting Analysis
The Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat will meet in a critical divisional showdown for the second straight game on Monday night from Miami-Dade Arena.
The Heat held on for a 117-109 victory on Saturday night. This will be the fourth and final game in a regular season series that Miami now leads 2-1. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 PM EST/4:30 PST as the first half of an NBATV doubleheader.
Road Woes Continue For Atlanta

Saddiq Bey led the Hawks in scoring against Miami with 22 points off the bench. Clint Capela recorded a 16 point, 13 rebound double-double while Trae Young struggled to score with only 8 points on a horrendous 2-13 from the field and 0-5 from three-point land.
Atlanta currently occupies the 8th seed in the Eastern Conference, 1.5 games behind the 7th seeded Heat and four games from jumping out of the play-in tournament.
Offense has been their calling card as they rank 7th in scoring with 117 points a game on 48% from the floor.
Defense has been a different story as they sit at 21st in both defensive rating and scoring with 116.9 points allowed per game. The Hawks are sporting a clean injury report, a breath of fresh air nowadays.
Heat Hold Off Hawks
The Miami Heat improved to 34-31 on the season after beating the Hawks. Like Atlanta, Miami does their damage at home with a 20-12 record compared to a 14-19 road record.

Miami Heat vs Atlanta Hawks Expert Prediction
The Miami Heat enter this contest as 3 point home favorites with a total set at 227.5. This is a pivotal matchup as these teams are separated by only 1.5 games and this will be their final head-to-head matchup.
These teams average just 213.8 points per game over their last ten meetings with 2-8 record to the over/under. They have combined for 204, 244 & 226 in three matchups this season.
The Heat struggle yo score points in general as they rank dead last in scoring. The Hawks were smothered on Saturday night, hitting only eight three-pointers despite that being in area where Miami generally struggles. Take the under in this one!!
