Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat head-to-head record
Based on the last five times these two teams faced each other, this game can be another close one. Three of their last five games, including two of their most recent ones, have been won by Miami. Their close wins over Atlanta during October and April show that they can perform well under pressure. But the Hawks have won one out of their five games, which includes a one-point win in January that shows how tough and competitive they are against Miami. In their previous games against each other, the scores were usually close. This one could also be a back-and-forth affair. Miami's strong shooting, especially from outside the arc, could give them the upper hand, but Atlanta's offensive power, anchored by Trae Young, will probably keep them in it until the end.
