  • The Hawks have failed to cover the spread in 10 of their last 11 games against opponents who are on the first leg of a back-to-back.
  • Each of the Hawks’ last six home games have gone OVER the total points line.

Heat vs Hawks Prediction

The Heat are fighting to stay out of the play-in tournament, while the Hawks hope to get the ninth seed so they can have home court in the first play-in game. Big game for both sides. The Heat are inconsistent as all hell, and there’s no telling which team is going to show up. With that said, the Heat are the better, healthier team, and they’ve won 7 of the last 10 games against the Hawks. We also can’t forget the Hawks have a 35.9 percent cover percentage, which is comfortably the worst in the NBA. We’re laying a single bucket. Give me the Heat to get a much-needed win.
