Command Analysis
The Miami Heat are enjoying a great first play-off round series. Heat lost only one match to the Hawks. But even in that match Nate McMillan's men were just lucky. They beat the opponent by only one point (111:110) in the third game of the series.
Heat came back on top in the fourth match of the series. Miami team put up a great defensive performance. Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and P.J. Tucker managed to close down Atlanta's leaders. This trio collected 26 rebounds. Match ended with a 110:86 victory for the Heat.
Hawks are no match for Miami, when it comes to defensive game. Nate McMillan's men were always weak under their own rim. That's why they chose an offensive style of play. But it is not so easy to break Miami's defense.
Trae Young and co failed to succeed in the previous match. Hawks' leader managed to score only 9 points. De'Andre Hunter was the best scorer for the Hawks in that match, he tallied 24 points, but it was not enough for McMillan's men.

We are not expecting a high-scoring game here. Miami team looks excellent on defense. Heat are allowing only 98,5 points per game in matches against the Hawks. It seems like McMillan's men are unable to break the Miami's defense, so we are not expecting something to change.
Our prediction - total under 219,5 points
In 3 of 4 latest head-to-head matches Miami beat Atlanta by at least ten points. Eric Spoelstra's men should be able to record another confident victory at home.
Our second bet - Handicap (-5.5) points on Miami
