Before making any Hawks vs. Heat picks,

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every NBA game 10,000 times and has returned well over $10,000 in profit for $100 players on its top-rated NBA picks over the past four-plus seasons. The model enters the 2023 NBA Play-in Tournament a stunning 71-36 on all top-rated NBA picks this season, returning more than $3,000. Anyone following it has seen HUGE returns!

The model knows Miami forward Jimmy Butler continues to be the main playmaker for this club. Butler can score from the mid-range and the paint with ease. The six-time All-Star has a knack for drawing contact, shooting 85% from the free-throw line. Butler averages 22.9 points and 5.3 assists per game. In his last outing versus the Philadelphia 76ers, he dropped 24 points and six dimes. 

The model also knows Atlanta guard Trae Young is a sharpshooting playmaker in the backcourt. Young has excellent range on the outside and scans the floor extremely well as a facilitator. The Oklahoma product was 10th in the league in scoring (26.2) and second in assists (10.2). On April 5 against the Washington Wizards, he logged 25 points and 16 assists.

Now, it has set its sights on Hawks vs. Heat. We can tell you the model is leaning Over on the point total, and it also says one side of the spread hits well over 50% of the time! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any NBA picks.
