They have lost 3 of their last 4 games and they are coming into this one on a 2 game losing streak after another loss in their last game.

The Hawks are coming into this game as a 4.5 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Hawks have been struggling in a lot of their games this season but they have been better at home than on the road and this is their best chance to snap the losing streaks they have been going on recently. The Heat are coming in on a 2 game win streak but they will be missing some key players in this game and the Hawks should be able to take advantage of that here at home. The best bet to place in this game is on the Hawks to cover the spread here as they should be able to win at home against a Heat side that is not at full strength.
