Hawks vs. Heat Preview
The Heat have been a disappointment this season, but let's not lose sight of the fact that Erik Spoelstra is a top defensive coach. The Heat have slowed their pace since trading away disgruntled Jimmy Butler and are playing their best defense of the season.
The Heat just held the Warriors to 86 points two days ago. Miami is giving up only 97.6 points during its past three games. Star defensive player Bam Adebayo helped guard Butler during that win against the Warriors. Butler managed just 11 points in the game. This doesn't bode well for the Hawks' main man, Trae Young.
Atlanta has its own defensive ace in Dyson Daniels, who leads the NBA in steals. The Hawks are more about offense than defense, but they don't figure to push tempo playing for the fourth time in six days. I'll take the Under.
Best Bet: Under 226.5 (-110)
Hawks vs. Heat Prediction
By Nick Galaida
Since De'Andre Hunter was traded to Cleveland, Daniels is averaging 6.6 rebounds on 10.5 rebound chances per game — both of which rank 2nd on Atlanta in that span, behind only Onyeka Okongwu.
Entering play, Daniels has recorded 6+ rebounds in 12 of his last 20 games, including 6 of 9 road games since the Hunter trade. This season, Daniels has recorded 6+ rebounds in 12 of 16 games in which both Clint Capela and Jalen Johnson have been inactive, including 7 of 9 road games.
Miami has done a decent job keeping guards off the glass of late, but this is still a playable number for Daniels.
Pick: Dyson Daniels Over 5.5 Rebounds (-120)
