Smart Game Analysis
Atlanta Hawks has a 62% chance of winning the game
The Hawks are positioned to snap their losing streak at home against a Heat team missing key offensive production and potentially their defensive anchor.
Key Analysis
- • Miami is confirmed to be without Tyler Herro, removing 23.2 points per game from their lineup.
- • Heat defensive anchor Bam Adebayo is questionable with back soreness, a massive blow to their interior protection.
- • Jalen Johnson is averaging a double-double and presents a mismatch for Miami's depleted frontcourt.
- • The Heat have lost eight of their last nine games, showing significantly worse momentum than Atlanta.
- • Miami's defensive rating plummets from 111.9 to 117.8 when Adebayo is off the floor.
- • Miami needs a high-scoring performance from Norman Powell and to force turnovers to compensate for their roster absences.
