Players to watch out for in Miami Heat vs Atlanta Hawks

Trae needs to step up and have a big game, otherwise, the series will be over for the Hawks. Playing at home will elevate Trae’s game, and he certainly can have a big game.

  • Jimmy Butler – Miami

Jimmy Butler in the last match showed that he can drop 30-40 points on any given night, and he certainly will look to have a similar performance in game 3.
