The Miami Heat aim to extend their winning streak to three games when they host the Atlanta Hawks at Kaseya Center, with both teams fighting for crucial playoff positioning in a tight Eastern Conference race.

Miami's recent offensive surge, highlighted by their scorching 68% three-point shooting against Golden State, faces a stern test against a Hawks team that's won seven of their last ten despite their recent stumble in Houston.

The Southeast Division rivals split their previous three matchups this season, setting up an intriguing battle between Trae Young's high-powered Hawks offense (117.6 points per game) and the Heat's stingy defense that's holding opponents to just 110.3 points per contest.

Miami Heat vs. Atlanta Hawks preview

The Heat are looking to build on their impressive turnaround after snapping a brutal 10-game skid with back-to-back wins, including a statement victory over Golden State where they shot a blistering 68% from beyond the arc.

Bam Adebayo's been a force for Miami lately, coming off a dominant 27-point performance that showcased why he's still the heart of this Heat squad.

The Hawks won't make it easy though - they've taken 7 of their last 10 and already lead the season series 2-1, with Trae Young orchestrating their high-powered offense that's putting up nearly 118 points per game.

Miami's defense could be the difference-maker at Kaseya Center, where they've historically given Atlanta fits - the Hawks have dropped 9 of their last 11 in South Beach.

Keep an eye on the Hawks' Dyson Daniels, who's been filling up the stat sheet with his all-around play, fresh off a near triple-double with 19 points, 8 boards, and 10 dimes.

The Heat's shooting surge couldn't have come at a better time as they face an Atlanta defense that's been their Achilles' heel, giving up north of 119 points per game on the road.

With Duncan Robinson's status up in the air with back issues, Tyler Herro might need another big night like his recent 20-point, 7-assist showing to keep Miami's momentum rolling.

This Southeast Division clash has all the makings of a classic - two teams desperate to climb the Eastern Conference ladder, with Miami hunting for that 9th spot and Atlanta trying to cement their division lead.
