The Heat will try to pay off for their supporters on Tuesday when they play host to the Hawks at AmericanAirlines Arena in NBA wagering action.
Only thing is, we need to wait on the status of LeBron James before anyone will set a Hawks Heat point spread for us.
The Hawks will try to spoil to the party on Tuesday; they are 19-23 ATS against the number this season, while the Heat are 19-22-1 ATS. Atlanta is 18-24 on the totals; Miami is 22-19-1. The game is currently off the board at shops like Sportsbook but will be going up shortly.
Power Rankings / Prediction: The power rankings show a disparity between these teams, with the Heat rated this week at No. 2 and the Hawks sitting at No. 14. It may or may not play a role in Odds Shark score prediction models that turned out a 105-100 result in favor of the Heat today. That hinges on LeBron playing his usual role.
