Atlanta rolls into the Kaseya Center with a 46‑35 ledger and a 22‑18 road record, but the Heat’s 42‑39 home mark and 25‑15 house split make this a high‑octane scoring duel. The Hawks average 118.5 points while conceding 115.7, versus Miami’s 120.6 points and 118.6 allowed – a razor‑thin margin that turns the spread into a gamble on who can police the paint better. J. Johnson, the Hawks’ triple‑threat (22.5 pts, 10.3 reb, 7.9 ast), will need to out‑shoot a Heat front office that’s banking on N. Powell’s 21.7‑point punch and B. Adebayo’s double‑digit boards, even as the South Florida squad battles five game‑time decisions.
The injury list tilts in Atlanta’s favor: center J. Landale is out with an ankle, while Miami lists D. Smith, N. Powell, D. Mitchell, T. Herro and N. Jovic as GTDs. With both money lines at –110 and the over/under set at 243.5, the spread is the real story – the Hawks must cover a six‑point gap in a venue where the Heat have already posted a 25‑15 home split.
