The Heat wasn't on in game one. Dwayne Wade probably had his worst game of the season, shooting under 40% and contributing eight turnovers. The fact is that the entire Heat team was a no-show. There is a tendency for teams off a pitiful performance to come back extremely strong, especially Hall of Fame credentialed players such as Wade. The performance by Atlanta wasn't as good as the Heat performance was bad. The Hawks committed 17 turnovers in the contest. The last time Wade scored fewer than 20 points in a game where he played 35 minutes or more was all the way back on January 14. I'd not be surprised if he hangs a 40 spot on the Hawks in this one. Miami is 10-1 ATS the past three seasons coming off a blowout loss by 20+ points. I like the Heat to cover in this one.
