It was Jimmy Butler’s first game back in Miami after being traded to the Warriors last month.

Atlanta Hawks

With a 35-37 record, the Atlanta Hawks are currently 1st in the Southeast division and 7th in the Eastern Conference. They are coming off a 114-121 loss against the Houston Rockets in their recent outing, which put an end to their three-game winning streak. The Hawks were just able to make 15 of 49 3-pointers against the Rockets and that’s not what a team trying to avoid the play-in tournament needed.

Dyson Daniels led the Hawks with 19 points, eight rebounds, 10 assists and four steals. Trae Young added 19 points and 12 assists for Atlanta, who have now lost 3 in their past 10 matches. They need to work on their defense, giving up nearly 119 points per game, which could be exploited if Miami is firing on all cylinders.

Offensively, the Hawks average 117.6 points per game and they shoot 46.9% from the field and 35.6% from three-point range. They average 29.4 assists per game, showing their playmaking abilities led by Trae Young. They convert 77.3% from the free throw line.

Defensively the Hawks have a poor defensive record, giving up 119.3 points per game. Although they are good at grabbing 44.6 rebounds, their poor defensive rebounding exposes a possible vulnerability in limiting opponents' second-chance scoring. Their ability to force 14.8 turnovers, 9.8 steals and 5.3 blocks per game, shows that they can create chances for the team while disrupting the opposing offense. Trae Young who leads the Hawks in points and assists per game will be expected to lead the offense. He has been the main scorer in the last four games, scoring 19 or more points in each.
