Stephen Nover's 5-Dime Top Ticket Crusher
(NBA) Atlanta vs. Miami,
Point Spread: -5.00 | -105.00 Atlanta (Away)
Result: Loss
Both teams played last night, which favors the deeper Hawks.

Miami isn't close to Atlanta's level. It has been more than a month since the Heat even beat an above .500 team. Their last five victories have been against the 76ers, Knicks twice, Magic and Celtics before the Isaiah Thomas trade.

The teams met twice this season and the Hawks won both times by double-digits. Miami has fared much better on the road than at home where it is 10-16 SU, 8-16-2 ATS. The Hawks, by contrast, have covered 20 of their last 26 road contests.

The Heat are minus Chris Bosh and have ball-handling problems that the Hawks can exploit.
