Miami at Atlanta

You can't trust Miami in the role of road favorite here, on a 3-7 spread run. The Heat have a losing record and got blasted the last two games by Sacramento (123-113) and Charlotte (125-113). And they were nine-point favorites over the Kings! It was the third time this season Miami was favored and lost straight-up. Miami is ranked #19 at defending the three-pointer, allowing .371% shooting, while on offense its free throw shooting has been poor (.718%), ranking #23. Rebuilding Atlanta has a terrific young talent in rookie point guard Trae Young (18.5 ppg, 7 apg), off his second double-double of the season Thursday with 14 points and 10 assists. Forward Alex Poythress returned after missing three games with a left knee sprain and had nine points, eight rebounds. The Hawks are 12-4 ATS following a double-digit loss at home and when these rivals clash the underdog is 8-3-1 ATS. Play Atlanta.
