Atlanta Hawks: news and form
Atlanta can’t do it this season: only 12th in the East, far from their playoff goals, the Hawks continue to tumble in the standings and seem condemned to the bottom places in the standings, when they already have 4 wins. behind Washington, 8th. Weighed down by a struggling defense, conceding an average of 111.5 points per game since the start of the season, the 25th total in the NBA, Nate McMillan’s team is much more comfortable on the offensive level and, with 110.8 points scored per game, is the 9th best offense in the league. Faced with a solid Miami team in defense, the Hawks will therefore have to be particularly effective on both sides of the field.
Atlanta Hawks: players to watch
As expected, point guard Trae Young continues to hold the helm in Atlanta, with 28 points, 4 rebounds and 9.6 assists this season, but the American player seems quite isolated. If John Collins (17.5 points, 7.9 rebounds) and Clint Capela (11.8 points, 13.1 rebounds) still meet this, the Hawks do not seem to have really varied options.
Miami Heat: news and form
Miami’s record is quite different: 3rd in the East with a victory behind Brooklyn, 2nd, the Heat have won 7 of their last 10 meetings and remain on 2 consecutive successes, against Portland (109-115) and Phoenix (100-123). Relatively comfortable on the outside with 13 wins and 11 losses on the clock, Miami will want to improve its statistics by winning tonight and will rely for that on its iron defense: with 104.2 points conceded per game, the players of Erik Spoelstra are the 4th defensive force in the NBA, thus compensating for a less efficient offense, while the Heat are scoring 108.4 points per game this season.
Miami Heat: players to watch
If the Heat have a very threatening Big 3 on paper with Victor Oladipo, Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler, the 3 players are currently injured and Miami had to find other leaders, thus allowing young Tyler Herro to continue his hatching , he who averages 20.6 points, 4.9 points and 3.9 rebounds this season. Kyle Lowry also contributes to the success of his team, the experienced player bringing 13.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and especially 8.4 assists to the balance.

Although diminished by numerous injuries, the Heat seem to have found their rhythm and will want to take advantage of an Atlanta team in full lack of confidence and undoubtedly deprived of Clint Capela. Miami could well get rid of the Hawks.

The American leader is in good shape and should once again carry his team. 4th best scorer and 3rd best passer in the league, Trae Young is wearing Atlanta this season and seeing him achieve another great performance tonight seems entirely possible.
