Miami Heat vs. Atlanta Hawks NBA Betting Picks: Predictions, Odds & Player Props
In a rematch of the first game of the Eastern Conference play-in last season, Miami and Atlanta face off for the first time this season on Saturday night. Sporting similar records floating around .500, both teams need this game to bolster their early season push.
Both teams have found a groove of late, the Heat 3-1 in November, and the Hawks are 5-1 after dropping their first two games of the season.
The Hawks are a slight favorite, but the game spread is only two possessions, indicating a likely close game. It will be an interesting clash as Atlanta's offense has been near the top of the league with a middling defense, and Miami has been solid defensively, but struggled to find easy buckets.
It's only about game ten in the regular season, but both teams need to bank wins against other playoff teams to solidify themselves early in the Eastern Conference seeding race.
- Game Date: Saturday, November 11th
- Game Time: 7:30 p.m. ET
- Spread: Heat -4.5
- Location: Statefarm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia
