Key Player Matchups to Watch
- Bam Adebayo (Heat) vs. Jalen Johnson (Hawks): Adebayo (averaging 20+ PPG, 10+ REB) faces Johnson’s athleticism (23.5 PPG, 10.6 REB); rebounding battle key as Atlanta ranks mid-pack in REB.
- Tyler Herro (Heat, if plays) vs. Dyson Daniels (Hawks): Herro’s shooting (probable) could exploit Atlanta’s perimeter defense (29th in opponent 3P%).
- Jaime Jaquez Jr. (Heat) vs. Jock Landale (Hawks): Jaquez’s versatility (21+ PPG recently) vs. Landale’s spacing; Miami’s bench depth tested.
- Andrew Wiggins (Heat) vs. Zaccharie Risacher (Hawks): Wing matchup where Wiggins’ experience could dominate.
These matchups favor Miami’s defense (top-10 rating) against Atlanta’s inconsistent offense.
