Heat Analysis: Pushing until the end
The Miami Heat have just 4 games left in their schedule. It is crucial for them to exhaust every bit of energy they have during this stretch. Mainly as they still have a slim opportunity to rise to the 6th position if they finish strong.
Miami’s top scorer is Jimmy Butler, averaging an impressive 21.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game. Notably, Butler has achieved 20 or more points in his previous 3 games, leaving fans eager to witness if he will bring back his playoff performance from last year, famously known as “Playoff Jimmy“.
Hawks Analysis: Set to join the PlayIn
The Atlanta Hawks have secured their spot in the Play In Tournament, as they are guaranteed to finish either as the 9th or 10th seed in the Eastern Conference.
Trae Young remains sidelined due to a finger injury, and there is currently no set timeline for his comeback. In his absence, Dejounte Murray has stepped up as the team’s leading scorer, averaging 22.4 points per game. Additionally, Murray contributes 6.4 assists, 5.3 rebounds, and leads the team in perimeter defense with 1.4 steals per game.
Overall the Hawks have managed to upset some giants this season, most notably Boston in their recent fixture. However our basketball analysis suggests the Heat have what it takes defensively to stop the Bogdanovic and Murray duo.
