Atlanta @ Miami

Regular Season Records: Atlanta 1-0; Miami 53-29

What to Know

The Atlanta Hawks will face off against the Miami Heat in a playoff matchup at FTX Arena at 1 p.m. ET Sunday. Atlanta should still be riding high after a victory, while Miami will be looking to right the ship.

The Hawks didn't have too much breathing room in their game with the Cleveland Cavaliers this past Friday, but they still walked away with a 107-101 win. Atlanta's point guard Trae Young was one of the most active players for the team, picking up 38 points and nine assists.

Meanwhile, the Heat lost to the Orlando Magic on the road by a decisive 125-111 margin. One thing holding Miami back was the mediocre play of center Omer Yurtseven, who did not have his best game: he played for 35 minutes but put up just seven points on 3-for-14 shooting.

Atlanta is expected to lose this next one by 6.5. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn't have high expectations for them since the squad is 4-15 ATS when expected to lose.

It was close but no cigar for Atlanta as they fell 113-109 to Miami in the teams' previous meeting earlier this month. Can the Hawks avenge their loss, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll soon find out.
