Miami Heat vs Atlanta Hawks: Injury Reports, Starting 5s, Betting Odds, Tips & Spreads - April 24th, 2022 | NBA Playoffs 2022

The Atlanta Hawks will host the Miami Heat at the State Farm Arena on Sunday in Game 4 of their first round playoff series. The home team has won every game so far in this series, with the Heat leading 2-1. The eighth-seeded Hawks are certainly overwhelmed but are fighting tooth and nail to keep their season alive.

The Heat struggled to score in Game 3. Jimmy Butler was the only starter in negative in plus/minus as the team collectively shot just 44% from the field and 31% from the three-point range. Tyler Herro was the team's leading scorer with 24 points off the bench. However, the Heat lost the game due to poor bench production. Their bench was -60 in plus/minus, while the Hawks' second unit was +58.

The Hawks, meanwhile, are trying to keep up as underdogs. They are without the services of Clint Capela and their paint presence has reduced as a result. Trae Young led the fourth-quarter comeback in Game 3, finishing off with a game-winning floater with 4.4 seconds remaining to put Atlanta up by one.

Ten of his 24 points came in the fourth period, and he was a whopping +18 in less than nine minutes.
