Miami Heat
Miami finished the regular season in seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings and first in the Southeast Division. A successful series of four wins with one loss at the end of the regular season allowed the Florida team to continue the season for at least two games.

The participation of 37-year-old NBA veteran Kyle Lowry is in question. But the team’s leader in points (22.9 on average per game) and assists (5.3), Jimmy Butler, is ready to play one hundred percent.
Atlanta Hawks
Atlanta suffered two defeats in their last two regular season games, losing to “Philadelphia” at home (131:136) and to “Boston” away (114:120). However, they still maintained the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference standings and second in the Southeast Division. The team from Georgia has an empty injury list and their best player in terms of points (26.2) and assists (10.2), Trae Young, is healthy and ready to compete.

Prediction
Our expert pick:
Analysts from bookmakers consider "Miami" to be the clear favorite in the upcoming match. We can agree with them. "Atlanta" has lost three out of four games to the team from Florida in the current season. And this time, "Heat" should achieve victory with the loud support of their fans at their home arena. Our prediction is a victory for "Miami" with a handicap (-3.5) points at odds of 1.73. "Miami" averages 111 points in home games, while "Atlanta" averages 117 on the road. The head-to-head matches between the teams are usually quite high-scoring. In three out of four games of the current season, the 220-point mark was exceeded. However, this time a ticket to the main playoffs is at stake. Therefore, the game will be tough with an emphasis on defense and not very high-scoring. Our prediction is total points under 225.5, including overtime, at 1.98. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.73. Promo code for registration - ODDS2WIN.
