With many star players likely prioritizing rest over winning, I’m taking the Under in my Hawks vs. Heat predictions . Keep reading to see how I’m approaching tonight’s game with my free NBA picks for Sunday, April 12.

Hawks vs Heat prediction Hawks vs Heat best bet: Under 241. 5 (-110) Both teams have clinched a spot in the postseason — albeit in the Play-In tournament for the Miami Heat — and that will influence how each coach approaches tonight's regular-season finale. For the Atlanta Hawks , the injury report suggests we won't see many of their biggest stars, as Jalen Johnson, Dyson Daniels, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Jonathan Kuminga, Onyeka Okongwu, and CJ McCollum are all listed as questionable.

Chances are, we’ll see someone from that list on the court. However, I seriously doubt they’ll play anywhere near their normal allotment of minutes as Atlanta prioritizes staying healthy for the postseason. Fewer players are being held out for Miami, which makes sense, as the Heat are still playing for home-court advantage in their first Play-In game.
