Stephen Nover's NBA Bookie Basher - 7-0 Hot Streak
(NBA) Miami vs. Atlanta, 04/09/2024 7:30 PM, Score: 117 - 111
Point Spread: -3.50 | -110.00 Miami (Away)
Result: Win
Driven by trying to gain an automatic playoff berth and revenge, Miami should cover this short road number.

The Heat are in a dogfight for the sixth position in the Eastern Conference playoffs. They've played better on the road than at home winning 23 of their 40 away games.

Miami lost to Atlanta in the team's last meeting on Jan. 19 in Miami. The Hawks hit a 3-pointer with two seconds left to win, 109-108.

The Hawks already know their playoff seeding, which will be ninth or 10th. That means involvement in the play-in round.

Atlanta hasn't been in good form returning home after consecutive road losses to the Mavericks, 109-95, and Nuggets, 142-110.

Trae Young remains out for Atlanta.
