ASA play on 8* Miami Heat -7 vs Atlanta Hawks, Tuesday 7:30 PM ET - Game 1 was a Heat blowout from start to finish. Miami held Trae Young to 1 of 12 field goals for the night, while Duncan Robinson made 8 of his 9 3-point attempts. We don’t see a lot changing in Game 2 as the Heat have multiple weapons on offense while the Hawks are limited beyond Young. Miami is 10th in offensive efficiency for the season and owns the 5th best defensive efficiency rating allowing 1.091-points per possession. Atlanta can’t boast the same statistical dominance that the Heat have as the Hawks ranked 2nd in offensive efficiency but were 26th in defensive efficiency which is the worst of any playoff team. Miami is the BEST 3-point shooting team in the NBA at 37.9% and the Hawks are 25th in the league in defending the 3. Conversely, the Hawks rely on their 3-point shooting at 37.4% (2nd) but the Heat defend the Arc with the 2nd best 3PT% D in the league allowing just 33.9%. Miami was 30-12 SU at home with a +/- of +5.6PPG. The Hawks were 16-25 SU away from home with a negative differential of minus -1.9PPG. Miami has covered 6 of the last seven here against the Hawks.
