Miami Heat vs. Atlanta Hawks – NBA Preview
Miami heat will be hosting the Wednesday night game against Atlanta Hawks at American Airlines Arena.
Heat are envisaging their 14th win at home but they might face certain snags on the way to accomplish the task in hand.
Dwyane Wade is expected to miss the game as he had inflicted an injury earlier on Tuesday in the match against New Jersey Nets.
The shooting guard is said to have suffered a ‘tweaked’ right ankle and his return in the upcoming game is much doubted. One must not forget that he is the centrepiece of Miami offense and his 22.5 points per game average along with his aggressive approach
leaves the adversaries sleepless before match.
But the 30 years old veteran thinks otherwise and is hopeful in making a speedy recovery before the game as he said "Not worried at all”
But he should be more cautious as he had missed 6 games in January due to sprain in the same ankle.
But Heat were revitalized with the return of Chris Bosh who had to miss past 3 games due to his grandmother’s death. With his 18.5 points per game and 8.1 rebounds he will assume the top scorer role along with LeBron James.
James is on song in this season and with 27.6 points per game and 8.4 rebounds he is amongst the top scorers in the league.
While on the other hand Hawks have gathered momentum recently with 3 straight wins in a row to match an 11-9 road trip.
They have Josh Smith averaging 16.9 and 9.9 rebounds per game scoring as high as 30 points in this week against Oklahoma City Thunders.
He has also averaged 23.4 points and 12.4 rebounds in the last 5 games and he is considered as the driving force of his team.
"Josh has been on a roll as of late," Coach Larry Drew said. "We've been going through him offensively and defensively. He's been an anchor for us."
While the sophomore Jeff Teague is also having a good run with 12.3 points per game these two players combined can particularly trouble the Miami defence.
Both teams have confronted each other for 3 times in this shortened season and Miami has toppled Hawks in 2 games.
The most recent endeavour was on February 12 last month; Heat trounced Hawks on their turf by 107-87.
James had 23 and Wade netted 21 on the other hand Willie Green came up 17 and Joe Johnson chipped in 12 for Hawks.
Miami dominated the game in the 1st three frames and easily handed the Hawks with 20 points margin defeat.
However as both team will be facing each other for the last time in the season and Hawks boosted  with 4 of 5 victories on the road after the All-Star break this match will surely be a thriller.
