The Miami Heat and Atlanta Hawks are already locked into their playoff slots, and Miami will open the playoffs in Atlanta. So what these teams have to gain here is nothing, and it has already been announced Wade won't play here. Additionally, these teams aren't going to show the other nothing. Should be a quick played game, without a lot of free throws and clock stoppages. So what is Miami like without Wade?
WADE SIZZLING FINISH:
Wade went for 50 vs Utah 25 games ago and finished the season from that point on averaging nearly 35ppg.
It is quite evident the Heat were dependent on him before he took the offense into his own hands, but now even moreso.
ON THE SEASON WADE AVERAGES 30.2ppg
WHEN HE REACHES 30 (HIS AVG):
MIAMI IS 29-9 to the OVER
WHEN HE DOESN'T: THEY ARE 11-26
SINCE HIS SIZZLING FINISH:
MIAMI O/U RECORD WHEN WADE HITS HIS AVG+: 14-2 OVER
WHEN HE SCORED UNDER HIS AVG 29 or LESS: 1-8 OVER
WADE AND THE HEAT TOTALS BY SCORING RANGE:
WADE SCORING:
30+ 29-9 OVER
27-29 5-7 OVER
24-26 3-5-1 OVER
21-23 2-6 OVER
18-20 0-4 OVER
17 or less 1-4
You can see a direct correlation to what happens when his points go down, the amount of OVERS go down with it!!! Well tonight his contribution will be 0.
ATLANTA:
DEFENSE is now in the top 10 in fewest points allowed, and allowing under 90 a game at home.
APRIL NBA HISTORY:
TEAMS THAT WIN BETWEEN 51-60% OF THEIR GAMES MEETING LATE IN THE SEASON (APRIL): 40-14 UNDER (63% OF THOSE GAMES BEAT THE TOTAL BY 7 OR MORE POINTS)
MIAMI @ ATLANTA UNDER 1905.5
RATING: MEDIUM
