The Hawks can’t possibly play as poorly as they did in Game 1, when they shot 39 percent from the field and had 18 turnovers. But versatile big man Clint Capela is still out. That’s a problem Tuesday as Miami is playing its best basketball of the season, winning and covering seven of its last eight. Take Miami to cover.
The Hawks are only going to go as far as Trae Young can carry them, and this is a Heat team that is loaded with excellent defenders who can team up to make things difficult for him. Young only scored eight points in Game 1, shooting 1-for-12 from the field. While he likely won’t be that bad again, the Hawks basically need him to score 30 points a night if they are going to have a chance to win, and that might be difficult against this group. John Collins is still working his way back from missing a month and Clint Capela is out, so Young’s supporting cast is also compromised right now. After the Heat won by 24 points in Game 1, another blowout could be coming.
