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 Boston Celtics have qualified for the Eastern Conference Second Round after dramatically blowing away the Nets in what would be the only sweep of the First Round. The Raptors have denied the Sixers twice in a series that is now 2-3, meanwhile, the Bucks have taken a strong three-one lead and look primed for the next round. The matters can be wrapped for the Miami Heat as they take on a vulnerable Atlanta Hawks.
The mantra for Heat has been straight-forward, shut-down Trae Young and win the game. That is what they did in the last game to clinch 110:86 victory as Jimmy Butler poured in 26 points and once again willed the Heat to an emphatic win. The Hawks are not even looking like a Playoffs team at this point and Trae has been unable to get through the switch-heavy defense of the Heat. Can he beat the odds here?

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis
Heat has some problems, Hawks only have problems.
The Hawks once again got shut-down as like in the last three games, Trae Young’s offensive rhythm was sucked out. The screens are not working as the Miami Heat defense knows the movements of Trae well and this is not the best strategy for the Hawks as they have become too easy to read at this point. Young was limited to below 10 points as he shot below 30% and yet again committed five turnovers. He is barely even reaching close to his average field goal attempts at this point.
In the last game, the Hawks saw the highest output by DeAndre Hunter while even in-form Bogdan Bogdanovic shot just 1/6 from the field. Things are looking bleak for the Hawks at this point as the team shot just 40% from the floor and a mere 55% from the free-throw line. It isn’t like that the Heat’s offense has been any impressive either, as the team has seen multiple players struggle from the field, case in point, Tyler Herro shot 1/8 from the floor.
Then what are the advantages they have extracted? First, they have not committed as many turnovers as the Hawks, they had 6 in the last game compared to the Hawks’ 15. Then you have the rebounding battle, which they won 48:41, leading to a whopping 17 more attempts from the field. The team also shot 22 free throws and made 81% of those, a thorough beatdown once again led by Jimmy Butler.
Fantasy-related tips
Trae Young’s stock has fallen drastically during the Playoffs, he can’t even be selected as one of the aces anymore, that is how dramatic that fall has been. Even Bogdan Bogdanovic has had a couple of ice-cold games while DeAndre Hunter has been the most consistent offensive player. Huerter has been off his game too while Gallinari is still a decent option. John Collins has been so-so while Capela hasn’t been the same since his injury.
Jimmy Butler remains the ace for the Heat and as expected, he has come with a lot of fire in his belly during the Postseason. If it were not for him, the Heat wouldn’t have this lead as Tyler Herro is having a terrible series, and his Fantasy stocks have fallen. Max Strus has been rather more reliable than Herrro while Lowry’s injury opens up minutes for Gabe Vincent who can be a dependable filler player. Bam Adebayo’s numbers are below his season average but I have a feeling he will have a strong game soon.

Jimmy Butler(MIA)
Points: 36

Two-way stalwart Jimmy is aiming for a deep Playoff run here and the Hawks defense has been vulnerable against him as he shot 12/21 in the last game. I expect a 26-34 points, 6-10 rebounds, and 5-8 assists range. He can be chosen as a Star/Pro Player in the Dream 11 NBA Fantasy scenario.

Expected Fantasy Points Range: 20-34
Bogdan Bogdanovic(ATL)
Points: 04
Rebounds: 04
