Atlanta: news and form
After five straight losses, the Hawks really needed to wake up. They knew how to do it at the best time, against the Bucks. Indeed, it is the whole collective which has raised its level of play to overcome the defending champion (121-114). This victory probably allowed to fill up with confidence since Atlanta then chained against the Timberwolves (134-122). Despite this, the Hawks remain twelfth in the East, still far from the play-in. To participate in the play-offs this season, it’s time to wake up.
Hawks: players to watch
There’s a man who carries this Atlanta team: it’s Trae Young. The young leader of the Hawks has a very nice average of 27.9 points per game this season and has just planted 37 against Minnesota, to which he added 14 assists. It will certainly be the most dangerous player of the Hawks. But he should be well taken by the Heat. As a result, either De’Andre Hunter or Onyeka Okongwu should have a role to play tonight.
Miami: news and form
Miami has regained its level of two seasons ago, to the delight of its fans. The Florida franchise will return to the play-offs this season unless there is a big disaster. At the moment, it sits in second place in the Eastern Conference, with only one victory less than the Bulls. She has just won against the Raptors (104-99) then against the Blazers (104-99). Overcoming the Hawks therefore seems quite within the ropes of this Miami team.
Heat: players to follow
Despite the absence of Tyler Herro, the Heat team remains very competitive thanks to a good collective. If Jimmy Butler did not shine against the Blazers, Bam Adebayo held his rank with 20 points and 11 rebounds. It is also necessary to underline the performance of Caleb Martin (26 points and 6 rebounds). On the other hand, PJ Tucker has been absent lately and could go for a ride on the bench.

To hope to beat the Heat, Atlanta will necessarily have to rely on a fit Trae Young. His little bridge against the Wolves has been emulated in the NBA. Seeing him exceed 30 points would therefore not be a surprise tonight.
