The Miami Heat won Game 4 in Atlanta to take a commanding 3-1 series over the Hawks. A big part of that success has been Miami's ability to keep Trae Young under wraps.

Sunday was the third time in four games that Young has struggled to find any traction against the Heat defense. He finished with just nine points on 3-of-11 shooting, with five turnovers.

For his part, Young was quick to compliment Miami's defenders.

"I haven't been guarded like this ... consistently, since high school," Young said.

The Heat will look to close out the series in Game 5 on Tuesday in Miami.

The Miami Heat came seemingly out of nowhere to earn the East’s top seed, but they won’t have a walk in the park in Round 1. Waiting for the No. 1 seed is Trae Young, who really made the jump to super stardom in last year’s postseason by dominating the Knicks in Round 1 and upsetting the Sixers in Round 2. Much of that same group is back, meaning Jimmy Butler and Co. won’t be able to coast on South Beach here.

Ahead of Game 1, Bookies.com breaks down the series and makes our NBA picks to back on sports betting sites.

Heat vs Hawks Betting Tips

Can Lightning Strike Twice? Trae Young was lethal in last year’s postseason, averaging 28.8 points and 9.5 assists in 16 games. He had help, but his efforts specifically led to series wins over New York and Philadelphia. He almost took down the Bucks, too.

The postseason is a different animal, but Young had some issues against Miami’s defense this year—he averaged 25.5 points and 7.3 assists. The assists were his second lowest against any East team. If Erik Spoelstra has a plan for Young,this series won’t last long. But if Young has some ’21 magic up his sleeve…

Championship Experience: This Heat core has played together in the NBA Finals, and the newest addition in Kyle Lowry has a ring. Miami is battle-tested and looks like a far different team than the one that was swept at the hands of the Bucks this time last year.

A core of Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, and Lowry doesn’t get much sturdier from a consistency standpoint, and a Hall of Fame coach in Spoelstra doesn’t hurt, either. Miami has all the makings of a true title contender.

Taking Talents to South Beach: Of course underdogs need to steal road games in order to win a series. But it will take a monumental shift for that to happen here.

The Heat had the East’s best home record (29-12), while Atlanta’s road record of 16-25 was 11th worst (even the Knicks won 20 games on the road). Worse, Atlanta was 6-18 ATS on the road. Miami might be able to pounce on the Hawks at home.

Heat vs Hawks Picks

Atlanta won two do-or-die games to get here, so we’re not discounting the momentum they’ve built. But it’s difficult to advance with the NBA’s 26th ranked defense, especially when the Heat aren’t going to give up all that much on the other end.

Butler, Bam, and the rest of the Heat roll here, with a stellar Trae Young performance at home giving the Hawks a single win. NBA betting fans, take the Heat in five without breaking a sweat.

The Atlanta Hawks will be without starting center Clint Capela as their first round series against the Miami starts, but may get another starter back in the lineup. Hawks starting forward John Collins has been upgraded to questionable for Game 1 and will attempt to play.

Collins has been out with both finger and foot injuries since March 11. Overall, Collins has played only four times since February 11.

Getting Collins back would be a boost for the Hawks, given Capela's knee injury. Capela will miss at least a week after hyperextending his right knee in Atlanta's Play-In victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday.

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela got good new after his MRI, but it may not be enough to get him back in the playoff lineup against the Miami Heat. Capela's MRI showed no structural damage in Capela's right knee. He'll be re-evaluated in one week.

Capela was hurt after fouling Cleveland Cavaliers rookie Evan Mobley during Atlanta's Play-In Tournament victory on Friday night. Capela pulled Mobley down on a shot attempt and Mobley lost his balance and fell into Capela's knee.

The Hawks open their first round series against the Heat on Sunday afternoon. Atlanta will hope to extend the series long enough for Capela to return.

The Atlanta Hawks lost center Clint Capela late in the first half due to a hyperextended right knee. Despite being helped off the floor, there is optimism that Capela avoided a significant knee injury.

Capela was hurt after fouling Cleveland Cavaliers rookie Evan Mobley. Capela pulled Mobley down on a shot attempt and Mobley lost his balance and fell into Capela's knee.

The Atlanta Hawks are planning to fill their open Two-Way roster spot with a familiar face. Atlanta plans to sign Chaundee Brown to a Two-Way contract.

Brown was called up by the Hawks on a 10-day hardship contract earlier this season. He's also played for the Los Angeles Lakers on a Two-Way deal in his rookie year.

For most of the season, Brown has been with the South Bay Lakers of the G League. In 30 G League games (all starts), the 6-foot-5 wing has averaged 15.2 points and 4.8 rebounds.

The Atlanta Hawks have converted the contract of guard Skylar Mays from a two-way to a standard NBA contract.

Mays has appeared in 27 games (five starts) for the Hawks this season, averaging 3.0 points in 8.1 minutes (.500 FG%, .889 FT%). In eight starts with the College Park Skyhawks of the NBA G League this season, he averaged 18.0 points, 4.5 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 33.6 minutes (.456 FG%, .341 3FG%, .947 FT%).

Drafted in the second round (50th overall) by the Hawks in the 2020 NBA Draft, Mays played in 33 games as a rookie with Atlanta in 2020-21, putting up 3.8 points and 1.1 rebounds in 8.2 minutes (.449 FG%, .350 3FG%, .880 FT%).
