Miami at Atlanta

The Miami Heat closed out the first half of the season as one of the hottest teams in the league. They closed out at 14-2 in their last 16, so the break was certainly a momentum killer. Remember that despite the big streak, this team is seven games under .500. It has played out quite differently for the Atlanta Hawks who suffered through a dreadful 1-10 stretch through 11 games early in the season. These teams look a lot further apart, removing the streaks, as Miami would be 11-30 and Atlanta would be 31-14. That is more representative of what we have in this matchup, so the line looks to be tainted. Play on Atlanta.
