KEY GAME INFORMATION
ATLANTA: GUARDS: Considering he was almost gone a year ago, the Hawks are thankful JEFF TEAGUE is still in town. He may never be a great shooter, but he gets wherever he wants on the floor . . . KYLE KORVER is still the NBA's premier shooter, and he's shown no signs of relinquishing that title . . . THABO SEFOLOSHA gives the Hawks a defensive option to complement Korver. He looked worn down last season though, eventually falling out of OKC's rotation . . . KENT BAZEMORE gives Atlanta some more offensive firepower off the bench . . . DENNIS SCHRODER showed flashes of that Rajon Rondo Lite promise last year. Don't be surprised to see him paired with Teague in some lineups . . . There's no guarantee JOHN JENKINS will ever be the same after back surgery. FORWARDS: PAUL MILLSAP has developed into a capable co-alpha, along with Jeff Teague. In addition to his low-post work, he's developed a three-point shot and the ability to work off the dribble . . . DeMARRE CARROLL is trying to add a three-point shot to his repertoire. It would give him a big boost in offensive value to go along with his defense and all-around hustle . . . ADREIAN PAYNE will provide some much-needed depth at the 4 and 5 spots. He's NBA-ready, especially with his ability to pull opposing big men away from the basket with his shooting . . . MIKE MUSCALA gives them another big man who can shoot it, but he's not athletic enough to hold his own in the NBA. CENTERS: Will AL HORFORD ever stay healthy? He's an All-Star when he is. His recent injuries have been a bit fluky, but it's going to be tough to trust him . . . PERO ANTIC proved to be a capable stretch-5 last year, but the arrival of Payne will likely push him out of the rotation.
MIAMI: GUARDS: He's a shell of his former self, but the Heat will have to squeeze more regular-season minutes out of DWYANE WADE. His effectiveness could depend on whether or not he finally develops a three-point shot . . . The point guard situation is getting muddied, but the Heat dug deep to re-sign MARIO CHALMERS. He'll top the PG depth chart again . . . NORRIS COLE is likely too small and too erratic to ever be a starter, but he'll continue to play solid minutes with the second unit . . . The Heat seemed to grab SHABAZZ NAPIER on draft night because he's a LeBron James favorite. Now that James is gone, the rookie could be the odd man out in the point guard rotation. He'll have to overcome subpar measurables. FORWARDS: LUOL DENG is most certainly not LeBron James, and he won't fill anything resembling James' new role. He does give them a strong role player, a defensive stopper and secondary scorer . . . JOSH McROBERTS will facilitate the offense at times and generally serve as a floor-spacing, stretch-4. Miami is built to go small with him and Chris Bosh up front . . . DANNY GRANGER is trying to reinvent himself after an injury-filled couple of seasons. He can play both forward spots and might fit best as a stretch-4 in head coach Erik Spoelstra's system . . . UDONIS HASLEM is essentially a mascot during the regular season . . . JAMES ENNIS could break into the rotation later this season. He was tremendous in Summer League play. CENTERS: CHRIS BOSH is the best player on this team by a significant margin. He'll be the focal point of the offense most nights and should flirt with the 20-10 numbers he used to put up in Toronto . . . CHRIS ANDERSEN will often pair with Bosh in the frontcourt, taking some of the defensive heat off Bosh against bigger lineups.

Because of this information, no power rating or computer score edges are posted for this game.

*Hawks-Heat Preview* ====================

By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer

Atlanta (46-12) at Miami (25-32), 7:30 p.m. EDT

Paul Millsap is back on track and so are the Atlanta Hawks, though Mike Budenholzer would still like to see his team commit fewer turnovers.

They seek a fifth straight victory over the Miami Heat for the first time in more than 23 years Saturday night.

The visiting Hawks (46-12) have won three in a row after their first back-to-back defeats since November. They were 36 of 96 from 3-point range in victories against Milwaukee, Dallas and Orlando after going 15 for 67 (22.4 percent) in losses to Boston and Toronto.

Millsap had 20 points in Friday's 95-88 win against the Magic and has averaged 19.3 on 50.0 percent shooting over his last three. He was limited to 11.3 points and shot 36.7 percent when Atlanta lost three of four previously.

Atlanta opened with a 19-3 edge, though the Magic eventually rallied - largely due to 18 Hawks turnovers leading to 20 points. They average 14.3 and have committed 18-plus in three of four after doing so as many times in the 25 games immediately prior to the All-Star break. Opponents are averaging 21.8 points off turnovers in the last four games.

"Maybe sometimes when it comes easy early, you don't keep the sharpness, the crispness, you need," Budenholzer said.

Atlanta has won four straight against Miami, shooting a combined 55.0 percent in two double-digit victories this season. The Hawks haven't had four consecutive wins against the Heat since they took 10 consecutive meetings from March 11, 1989-Nov. 9, 1991, the longest winning streak in series history.

The Heat (25-32) lost to New Orleans for a second time in seven days Friday, giving up a career-high 24 points to Alexis Ajinca, including the go-ahead layup with 26 seconds left in a 104-102 road loss.

Dwyane Wade's struggles continued as he had 11 points on 4-of-16 shooting and missed a 3-pointer as time expired, falling to 2 for his last 23 from beyond the arc. Wade has shot 35.8 percent from the field in five games since missing seven with a strained right hamstring.

"You can always look at things you would have done differently, but it's a lot different when you are out there in the heat of competition," coach Erik Spoelstra said. "I live with Dwyane Wade with the ball in his hands to make decisions at the end of games."

Goran Dragic continues to be inconsistent with his new team, scoring 20 Friday after being limited to 12 points six days earlier versus New Orleans in his Heat debut. He scored 23 in Monday's win versus Philadelphia and had eight points on 3-of-10 shooting in Wednesday's win over the Magic.

Dragic has averaged 19.5 points on 52.7 percent shooting in his last four matchups with Atlanta.

Luol Deng continues to play well, averaging 24.0 points while shooting 66.7 percent over his last three contests.

The Hawks have won seven straight on the second night of back-to-backs and are 11-3, trailing only Golden State (10-2).

Miami is 5-8, averaging 87.5 points and letting opponents shoot 40.9 percent from deep while dropping seven of eight.

Jeff Teague is averaging 22.7 points on 56.4 percent shooting in his last three against the Heat.
