Miami Heat will once again come against Atlanta Hawks at FTX Arena in Miami on Friday in the regular 2021/22 NBA Season.

The Atlanta Hawks will have their hands full when trying to avoid a fourth straight loss in Friday’s run-in with the Miami Heat. Both teams met up at the State Farm Arena on Wednesday, and the Hawks got hammered as 2.5-point favorites. Now, the Hawks take the show on the road for the rematch against a Heat team riding hot off a three-game winning streak.

Miami might be dealing with injuries, but they’re still the sixth-ranked defensive team in the league. They aren’t giving up easy buckets, and they’re constantly forcing turnovers. Young and company are going to have an even tougher time away from their home building. The Heat might be missing multiple key players, but they still have reliable sharpshooters in the backcourt.

Jimmy Butler is on the mend and could be returning to the lineup for the Heat on Friday. He’s officially listed as questionable to play against the Hawks. Markieff Morris, on the other hand, has cleared COVID protocols, but he’ll be out due to conditioning.

Miami is always going to be a problem as long as they maintain their defensive identity. The team is only allowing 100 points on average per game in their last three outings. Trae Young has been eerily quiet for the Hawks in recent outings. This match is favored in Miami Heat.
