MIA vs ATL Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Miami Heat vs Atlanta Hawks

MIA vs ATL Dream11: The Playoffs have already seen some upsets and the biggest one yet has to be the seventh-seeded Timberwolves’ win against the second-seeded Grizzlies. This is also due to the fact that the Timberwolves were on a high and a five-six day layoff took some steam out of the Grizzlies, a factor that can help the Play-in team. In this game, another team in Atlanta Hawks which qualified through the Play-in tournament will take on the East’s first-seeded Miami Heat.

The Heat had a terrific season and finished the season on a high note. They are a terrific defensive unit and have a beautiful bench unit. The experience of the current core which contains multiple players that have been to the Finals may play a decisive role.

On the other hand, the Hawks first defeated the Hornets, and then they took care of business against the Cavaliers as Trae Young exploded for 38 points and the team erased a substantial deficit in the second half. Will they carry this momentum against the Heat?

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Roster compositions

The Heat’s specialty is that they have a strong defensive team that can both pin down the perimeter and also seals the paint. The physicality of Tucker and Adebayo drains the energy while the perimeter is sealed by Lowry who is a terrific hustle player and has received great defensive support from Gabe Vincent. Then, of course, having Jimmy Butler, means the team has another brilliant wing defender who can perform athletic maneuvers. It will be interesting to see how the perimeter defense of the Heat tackles Trae Young.

Trae Young has been taking over games through his wonderful offensive skill set and he has been the major difference-maker and the central reason why the Hawks are in the Playoffs. He will need to up his game further versus the Heat but it isn’t like he doesn’t have help around him. Hunter is a terrific slashing wing while Gallinari, Bogdanovic, and Huerter can click on jumpers, with Capela’s inside presence, this makes for a terrific offensive balance and the Hawks can run a variety of sets.

The challenge for the Hawks will be on the defensive end, where they will have to cope against a superb isolation scorer in Butler, rugged inside finisher in Adebayo, sharpshooting Lowry, but perhaps Tyler Herro will give them the biggest trouble and he has been responsible for the team being successful. Duncan Robinson and Max Strus are the floor spreaders but the latter has been more confident these days.

Fantasy-related tips

The most prolific scorer can be Trae Young here but he will face multiple troubles shooting against the elite defense of the Heat. However, the Heat must be a bit rusty after the long layoff while Trae was burying jumpers just a couple of days ago. Bam Adebayo is a terrific Center and he will be tough to stop without Clint Capela here. Huerter, Bogdanovic, and Gallinari are interesting filler players from the Hawks where Bogdanovic has been more consistent. Herro is a terrific fantasy option off the bench and he can fetch a ton of points while clinching rebounds and also dishing assists at a higher rate.
