Before making any Hawks vs. Heat picks, you NEED to check out the NBA predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

The model knows the Hawks struggled in Game 1, but Atlanta is dynamic on offense. The Hawks finished the regular season with the No. 2 offense in the NBA, scoring more than 115 points per 100 possessions. Atlanta also takes care of the ball, committing fewer than 12 turnovers per game to lead the league. The Hawks were in the top four of the NBA in free throw accuracy, 3-point accuracy, and assist-to-turnover ratio in the regular season, and Atlanta will be motivated to bounce back from an opening dud in Miami.

The model also knows the Heat displayed upside in Game 1. Miami held Atlanta to 0.94 points per possession, suffocating the Hawks from start to finish. The Heat also scored nearly 1.19 points per possession in the series opener, making 18 of 38 attempts from 3-point range. For the season, Miami led the NBA in 3-point accuracy at 37.9 percent, and the Heat are also in the top eight in free throw accuracy, assists per game and assist percentage.
