This is it — win and you’re in. The Heat and Hawks clash in a do-or-die battle for the final ticket to the playoffs. Both teams split their four matchups this season, setting the stage for a highly unpredictable showdown.
The Heat bring the defense, ranked 9th league-wide, while the Hawks rely on speed and offense, sitting 2nd in the league in possessions per game. Can Miami control the tempo, or will Atlanta run them off the court?
Players to Watch:
Heat: Tyler Herro, Andrew Wiggins, Bam Adebayo, Davion Mitchell, Kel’el Ware

Stat Showdown:
- Defensive Rating: MIA – 9th | ATL – 18th
- Pace (Possessions/Game): ATL – 2nd | MIA – Slower tempo
💡 DFS Tip: Trae Young’s high usage makes him a prime fantasy captain, but Bam Adebayo’s two-way dominance offers sneaky value. Consider Herro or Wiggins for scoring upside.

Dallas Mavericks vs. Memphis Grizzlies (9:30 AM)
Standings: 8th Seed Game – Winner clinches final playoff spot
Series: MEM leads 3–1
Key Insights:
Despite a rough regular-season record against the Grizzlies (1–3), the Mavericks have hope — Ja Morant was out during their last clash, and that could tilt the balance. The Grizzlies may be superior statistically, but one hot night from the Mavs could flip the script.
Memphis holds the edge on both ends of the floor, ranking 6th in Offensive Rating and 11th in Defensive Rating. Dallas, meanwhile, sits at 18th offensively and 20th defensively — not ideal for playoff intensity.
Players to Watch:
Grizzlies: Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, Jaren Jackson Jr., Zach Edey, Santi Aldama
Mavericks: Anthony Davis, P.J. Washington, Klay Thompson, Daniel Gafford, Naji Marshall
Stat Showdown:
- Defensive Rating: MEM – 11th | DAL – 20th
- Offensive Rating: MEM – 6th | DAL – 18th
💡 DFS Tip: Desmond Bane might be the most consistent fantasy performer here. Jaren Jackson Jr. adds blocks and boards, while AD will have to carry Dallas on both ends. Klay Thompson’s shooting variance makes him a high-risk, high-reward pick.
Final Takeaways:
Heat vs Hawks: Expect a battle of styles — defense vs. pace. Stack up scorers like Trae and Herro, and don’t ignore Okongwu’s rebounding upside.
Grizzlies vs Mavericks: Memphis may be the better team on paper, but if AD goes off, it could be a fantasy feast. Bane and JJJ are must-plays, while Morant is a wildcard with sky-high potential.
