Through 3 Quarters

The Miami Heat were expected to win this one, and they are just one quarter away from fulfilling that expectation. Three quarters in and their offense has really been able to impose its will, dominating the Atlanta Hawks 87-76 three quarters in.

Small forward Jimmy Butler has taken over for Miami, currently boasting 36 points (41% of their total) in addition to four rebounds. Those points put Jimmy G Buckets near his season high of 37. One thing to keep an eye out for is P.J. Tucker's foul situation as he currently sits at five.

Atlanta has been relying on shooting guard Delon Wright, who has nine points, and point guard Trae Young, who has 22 points and four assists.

the Hawks have lost 86% of the time when they were down heading into the fourth quarter this year, so this one seems just about wrapped up

What to Know

The Miami Heat and the Atlanta Hawks are set to square off in a Southeast Division matchup at 7:30 p.m. ET April 19 at FTX Arena. The Heat will be strutting in after a victory while Atlanta will be stumbling in from a defeat.

Miami is hoping for another win. They put the hurt on Atlanta with a sharp 115-91 victory. The contest was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 59-40. Miami's shooting guard Duncan Robinson looked sharp as he shot 8-for-9 from downtown and finished with 27 points.

Miami is expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten the Golden State Warriors March 23 easily too and instead slipped up with a 118-104. In other words, don't count the Hawks out just yet.
