The Flames began their preseason performance with a defeat. In the opening match, the Heat lost to Charlotte (108:111). However, in the following matches, luck smiled on the team from Florida. First, Spoelstra charges dealt with New Orleans (111:109), and then beat San Antonio (120:117).
In his last game for Miami, Bam Adebayo showed his worth, scoring 20 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.
Disqualifications and injuries
Josh Richardson will not play.

Trends
Bet 1st quarter. Miami win
In 2 of the last 3 head-to-head meetings, the Heat won the opening segment
1.77Bet 1st quarter: total over 50.5 points
The last three head-to-head meetings have seen more than 50 points scored in the opening quarter.
1.80Tip and bets
In the last match, Atlanta failed in attack. The Hawks played terribly under the opponent basket and did not even score 100 points. It is unlikely that they will be able to perform better in the confrontation with Miami. The Heat cannot be called a fast team, so the face-to-face confrontation should be low-scoring.
Our prediction is total under 219.5 points at 1.72
Bet on total
Considering that Miami is successful in confrontations with Atlanta, it is probably worth giving preference to the Flames. At least Spoelstra charges should not lose with a big difference in the score.
Forecast - Miami with a handicap of (+6.5) points for 1.67
Bet on statistics
In most of the recent head-to-head meetings with Miami, the Hawks have scored more than 109 points. We expect them to do so now.
Forecast - "Atlanta": total over 109.5 points for 1.75
