Ice Trae Set To Thaw?: Trae Young was held to a season-low eight points (1-of-12 from the field) in Sunday's Game 1 loss to the Heat with more turnovers (6) than assists (4). But he is rarely shut down in consecutive games. He was held to 15 points on five occasions during the regular season and averaged 31.2 points and 9.2 assists the following game.

Don't Get Too Cute: The Suns are the biggest favorite on the board Tuesday. While Phoenix is 24-3 outright when favored by more than eight points this season, it is only 14-13 ATS in those games. If you are looking for New Orleans exposure, there's no shame in taking the points.

Back On My Grizzlies: Did the Grizz burn you in Game 1? It's very possible that may prove to be an outlier. Memphis won 15 of their final 17 regular season games when favored at home, so while they fell short Saturday, they still are in a good spot to come away with a win tonight.

Atlanta Hawks at Miami Heat7:30 p.m. ET, FTX Arena, Miami

Line: Heat (-7.5)Money line: Heat (-330), Hawks (+260)Total: 217.5 pointsBPI Projected Total: 215.5 pointsBPI Win%: Heat (79.4%)

Key players ruled out: Clint Capela, John Collins

Best bets: Over 217.5 points; Heat (-7.5). The Hawks and their opponents have gone over 216 points in their past 22 games. Both teams have a number of offensive playmakers and the Heat rank 11th in points scored per 100 possessions and accumulate a ton of offensive rebounds. While the Hawks ranked second in points scored per 100 possessions, Miami's physical defense stifled them Sunday. Tuesday's game should be more competitive and higher scoring and the Heat should cover the spread as well. — Eric Moody
