Our Miami Heat vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction
While Miami have been solid this season, they arguably looked even better with the return of Herro in the week, and they will be determined to improve their home record over going forward. Atlanta have also improved much in the last six, but their defensive frailties are likely to cause them problems against the better sides in the division, such as the Heat. Therefore, our Miami Heat vs Atlanta Hawks prediction: Miami Heat to win the match.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
