Hawks vs Heat Betting Pick
This game will be played at FTX Arena at 8:00 PM ET on Friday, April 8, 2022.
Why Bet The Heat:
โ The Miami Heat need one more win to secure the best record in the East. Thatโs a huge motive, and Iโm looking for the Heat to come out on top Friday in front of the home audience. Miami has been perfect in its last five outings, going 5-0 straight up and ATS in the process.ย
โ Both Miami and Atlanta have played well over their last five games. The Hawks have recorded a plus-11.5 net rating (4th in the NBA), while the Heat have registered a plus-16.7 net rating (1st). Miami has scored a whopping 125.3 points per 100 possessions in that span while shooting 53.1% from the field and 47.9% from beyond the 3-point line.ย

โ The Heat possess great depth, which is one of the reasons why they sit atop of the Eastern Conference. Tyler Herro is averaging 20.8 points and 5.0 rebounds per game, mostly coming off the bench. Max Struss is tallying 10.6 points per contest, while Caleb Martin (9.2 PPG) and Gabe Vincent (8.7 PPG, 3.2 APG) complete Miamiโs strong supporting cast.ย
Atlanta Hawks
The Hawks have gone 6-1 SU and ATS in their last seven contests. Trae Young has led the way for Atlanta in that stretch, racking up 30.0 points, 12.0 assists, and just 2.9 turnovers per game. Heโs handed out at least 15 assists in three of those seven contests.ย
Last Wednesday, the Hawks defeated the Washington Wizards 118-103 as 10.5-point home favorites. Young recorded a double-double of 30 points and 11 assists; Danilo Gallinari posted 26 points and ten rebounds, while Bogdan Bogdanovic added 18 points off the bench.ย
Miami Heat
The Heat are riding a five-game winning streak following a 144-115 dismantling of the Charlotte Hornets. Tyler Herro accounted for 35 points on 11-for-18 shooting from the field and 7-for-7 from the free-throw line; Jimmy Butler had 27 points and eight assists, while Duncan Robinson went 7-for-11 from deep and finished with 21 points and a couple of dimes.ย
Herro has done a superb job over his last eight showings, averaging 19.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 4.4 assists a night. Heโs made 47.1% of his field goals and 43.8% of his 3-pointers in that span.ย
