Heat vs Hawks Game 4 picks and predictions
Prediction
Heat 114, Hawks 110
Money line
LEAN HEAT (-135) is due to the Hawks being in Capella without a defensive anchor for three consecutive games and having a Reverse Line Movement (RLM) to Miami.
Capela is critical to Atlanta’s pick-and-roll offense, rim, paint defense, and rebounding. The Heat outrebounded the Hawks by a wide margin, allowed the fewest paint PPG during the regular season, and ranked ninth in defensive efficiency versus PNR through ball handlers.
Approximately two-thirds of the money is on the Hawks, but the Heat’s ML has risen from -115 to the current number, according to pregame.com. When sportsbooks make the more popular side cheaper, it’s a red flag.
Having said that, it’s only a LEAN to the HEAT (-135) since Capela’s game status has been upgraded to “questionable,” and the Hawks are 5-3 as home underdogs this season.

Against the spread
PASS because Miami’s ML is only 15 cents on the dollar more expensive than the Heat’s -1.5 (-120), so there’s no reason to worry about the spread.
Over/Under
LEAN OVER 220.5 (-112) because the Heat-Hawks have the third-fastest postseason pace, both teams had a high offensive free-throw attempt rate during the regular season, and both teams are excellent 3-point shooters.
However, the Under has won four straight meetings between the Heat and the Hawks, and both offenses tend to settle for long, contested 2-pointers or 3-pointers. A poor shooting quarter by either team could put an Over bet in jeopardy. OKBET Sportsbook, allows you to bet legally online.
