- Analysis
- I'm playing on ATLANTA. The Heat already beat the Hawks in b2b games this month. They beat them here on 1/12 and then again, at Miami, on 1/14. Those games were right near the end of an extended skid for the Hawks though. They'd go on to lose the next night, 1/15, against the Knicks. However, slowly healthier, they've since turned the corner. Two games ago, they came back to beat the defending champs. Last game, they did so against a hot Minnesota team. Momentum and order restored, I expect them to keep on rolling this evening. This will mark the Hawks' fourth straight home game; they play at Charlotte next. Note that they're 3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS after playing their previous three at home. While the Heat are still tough, they're missing a lot right now. The Hawks are better than their record suggests, better than they played in the two earlier games against the Heat. This evening, they settle the score.
