Heat at Hawks picks and predictions
Prediction
Heat 117, Hawks 113
Moneyline
BET HEAT (+125).
Due to their unfortunate start to the season, there is solid value on the Heat to find their first victory Wednesday. They have played tight games in their previous 2, losing by a combined 9 points. They face a Hawks squad that has dropped back-to-back games and will not have an answer for Antetokounmpo.
Against the spread
PASS.
There is better value on the Heat to win outright.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 240.5 (-110).
The Heat have hit the Under in 3 of their 4 games this season, scoring 111 or fewer in each game, while allowing 115 or fewer in back-to-back contests.
The Hawks have scored 114 or fewer in back-to-back games, while allowing 120 or fewer in 2 of their last 3. While a back-and-forth game can be expected, neither side has shown many flashes of reason to back the Over.
Best prop bet
Bet Heat C BAM ADEBAYO UNDER 1.5 3-POINTERS (-135 on DraftKings Sportsbook).
C Bam Adebayo has had a slow start to the season, scoring 8 or fewer points in 2 of his 4 appearances. He has made multiple 3s just once so far, while attempting 6 or fewer in each contest. While the Heat will need him to step up, he has not shown a lot of confidence from beyond the arc this season.
