Both teams are playing a back-to-back, but Miami gets to stay at home after losing 122-120 to the red-hot Knicks last night when Julius Randle, who scored 43 points, made a go-ahead 3-pointer with 1.7 seconds left. Atlanta figures to cool off considerably after shooting 52 percent and blowing out Portland 129-111. The Hawks are only 16-36 ATS following a win and 9-22 ATS after an ATS win. Also, Atlanta is 1-5 ATS its past six games after scoring at least 125 points. Playing with no rest hasn't bothered the Heat much as they are 9-3-1 ATS when the starting five combined for at least 160 minutes the previous day. Miami has covered four of the past five meetings at home. Take the Heat.
