[sc:NBA240banner ]After an opening night loss to the Detroit Pistons, the Hawks look like they’re back to being the dominant team that they were last season. The Hawks are 3-0 SU in their last three games, which includes their 94-92 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday. Just like last season, the Hawks are being led by the three-man combo of Jeff Teague (18.3 PPG), Al Horford (17.5 PPG), and Paul Millsap (16.0 PPG).
A couple of Hawks, however, have been stepping up in Dennis Schroder (13.3 PPG) and Kent Bazemore (11.0 PPG). The Heat, on the other hand, are getting impressive numbers from Dwyane Wade and Hassan Whiteside, who handles most of the scoring and rebounding, respectively. Wade is putting up 21.7 PPG, while Whiteside is averaging in double-double (13.3 PPG, 10. RPG). The Heat are coming off statement 109-89 win over a legitimate title contender in the Houston Rockets on Sunday. Miami is 4-1 SU and ATS in its last five games dating back to last season.
Writer’s Prediction
Miami wins, 98-96.
