Game Preview
At Kaseya Center on January 19, the Miami Heat (24–17) host the Atlanta Hawks (17–23).
The Atlanta Hawks, who have split their previous 10 matches, want to gain ground this week after recent wins over the Magic and Spurs. Dejounte Murray topped the squad with 26 points in the game versus the Magic, and Trae Young added a double-double with 18 points and 12 assists. Atlanta is ranked fourth in the league and has a scoring differential of 10.1 points higher than Miami usually allows. They are coming into this game with a strong offensive showing, averaging 121 points per game. The Hawks’ skill on the offensive glass is demonstrated by the fact that they dominate the NBA in offensive rebounds per game. Atlanta ranks 28th in the league in terms of defense, allowing an average of 123 points per game, indicating ongoing defensive shortcomings. Vit Krejci, Wesley Matthews, De’Andre Hunter, and Mouhamed Gueye are all marked as questionable.
The Miami Heat come into this game having won 5 of their previous 8 matches. They had defeated the Hornets and Nets and were close to defeating the Raptors, 212-97, but they were not able to get 100 points. Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, and Jimmy Butler all scored 16 points apiece in the loss to Toronto. With an offensive output of 111.5 points per game on average, Miami is ranked 25th in the league and scores 11.9 points less than Atlanta usually allows. The Heat’s defense is still a powerful force despite their offensive shortcomings; in 3 of their previous 4 matches, opponents have been held to fewer than 100 points. With a strong defensive record that sees them allow just 110.9 points per game, they are ranked 2nd in the NBA. The Heat won’t have an easy game coming into this matchup.
