ATLANTA (AP) — Trae Young had 11 points and 14 assists, and the Atlanta Hawks snapped a three-game losing streak with a 98-86 victory over the Miami Heat on Monday night.

Onyeka Okongwu had 17 points and eight rebounds, while Terrance Mann and Caris LaVert both added 15 points off the bench. NBA steals leader Dyson Daniel had seven steals, one off a season high.

The Hawks allowed their fewest points since a 100-82 victory over Cleveland on March 14, 2021, and moved past Miami into eighth place in the Eastern Conference.

Andrew Wiggins had 23 points for Miami, which lost for the sixth time in seven games and missed 13 of its first 14 3-point attempts.

All-Star Tyler Herro, who had scored 40 points in two of his previous three games, was held to 11 points on 4-for-19 shooting.

Takeaways

Heat: Coach Erik Spoelstra continues to tinker with the Heat rotation and hasn't been able to find a winning formula. Miami is 2-6 since trading Jimmy Butler to the Warriors on Feb. 5.

Hawks: Quin Snyder said before the game his team has been playing well but not getting the results they are looking for. Against the Heat, they broke through with a much-needed win against a potential future play-in opponent.

Key moment

With 3:25 remaining and the Hawks leading by six, Atlanta successfully challenged a foul on Young that wiped out two Miami free throws. Mann hit a 3-pointer on the ensuing possession to push the lead to 93-84.

Key stat

One night after allowing the Pistons to shoot a season-high 59.1% from the field, the Hawks held the Heat to a season-low 32.1%.

This is how we previewed this game....

Miami are ever so slight favourites for this game between two meh outfits.

Miami are 8th in the East, 26-29-47%, 13-18 on their travels, 3-7 L10 and a L1 streak. Atlanta are one place below in 9th, 26-31-46%, 12-14 at home, 4-6 L10 but on an L3 streak.

Heat seemingly listed as favourites simply because recently they haven't been quite as crap as Atlanta.

Under (229.5) at odds of 1.88

If you can get 229.5 grab it, many sportsbooks have already nibbled into 228.5. This is going to be a steady affair, not a super grind, but a bit of one. Neither side are known for high scoring, so the Under looks like a nailed on bet to us. We'd say 75% of these games come in at Under 229.5, the odds are implying odds of 53%, so we are priced in.

Trae Young (ATL) Under 28.5 Points at odds of 1.95

Really we'd like under 29.5 here, but its playable at odds of 1.95 and a line of 28.5. Whilst he's had back-to-back 38 point games, he played 38 minutes last night and is up against a decent defense in what's likely to be a tight game. Without those 38 point games, Trae would have a line of around 25.5, so take advantage.

Returns $19.50 for a $10 bet

Andrew Wiggins (MIA) Under 29.5 Points + Assists + Rebounds at odds of 1.74

Massive target for Wiggo, he played over 40 minutes last night, so unlikely to be on court for much north of 28 mins tonight, he's averaged 24.6 PRA this season, and we see this game being a below average game

Returns $17.40 for a $10 bet

I think the word we are looking for is BOOM! A Hattrick, 3/3, trips, 100% etc.

All three of our tips came in on the Heat at Hawks game, mind you when you are tipping the under, and the game finishes with a total of 184, its pretty hard to see you losing your Under Player Prop bet tips, both players missed.
