Per Cleaning the Glass, Atlanta is 17th in points per 100 possessions, 18th in effective field goal percentage, 21st in turnover percentage, 12th in offensive rebounding percentage, and 5th in free throw rate.

Currently, the Hawks rank 27th in PPG allowed, 29th in field goal percentage allowed, 17th in three-point attempts allowed, and 25th in three-point percentage allowed. Per Cleaning the Glass, Atlanta is 15th in points allowed per 100 possessions and 28th in effective field goal percentage allowed.

Miami ranks 25th in PPG, 22nd in FG%, 10th in 3PA, 16th in 3P%, 18th in FTA, 17th in rebounding, and 6th in turnovers. Per Cleaning the Glass, Miami is 20th in points per 100 possessions, 21st in EFG%, 9th in TOV%, 25th in ORB%, and 12th in FT Rate.

After three straight 38-point games, Trae Young’s scoring dipped to 11 points on 4-14 shooting on Monday vs Miami, but Young was still running the offensive effectively and had 14 assists. Miami is always a tough matchup for guards and that will be no different tonight.

Dyson Daniels had a phenomenal game on defense on Monday. Daniels finished with seven steals and held Tyler Herro to 11 points on 4-19 shooting. Daniels also had 10 points and 11 rebounds in what was once of his best performances of the year.

Zaccharie Risacher had a tough offensive game, shooting 1-8, and finished with two points and three rebounds. Sometimes the stats don’t tell the full story, but it was a rough offensive night for Risacher vs the Heat.

Expect Mouhamed Gueye to continue to start and play around 15-16 minutes, unless he is playing exceptionally well on one end of the court. Gueye was solid on Monday with nine points, three rebounds, and three assists.

Onyeka Okongwu led the Hawks in scoring on Monday and bounced back from his tough game against the Pistons on Sunday. Okongwu scored 17 points (7-10 shooting), grabbed eight rebounds and had three assists.

The Hawks bench was one of the main reasons they got the win on Monday. They outscored Miami’s bench 49-24 and Caris LeVert and Georges Niang had 15 points, Terance Mann scored 11 and Clint Capela had eight points and 11 rebounds. Can the Hawks bench have another strong night tonight?

Miami-Dade deputy shoots and injures a 15-year-old after a firearm threat call, authorities say

The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office is investigating a shooting involving one of its deputies in southwest Miami-Dade.

Assistant Sheriff Fernand Charles Jr., speaking at a press conference, reported that at approximately 3:30 p.m., a call was received about a firearm threat at a park located at SW 216th Street and 113 Avenue.

When deputies responded, they found a group of four juveniles at SW 222nd Street and 112nd Avenue. According to Charles Jr., a confrontation ensued, and one of the deputies discharged his weapon, striking a 15-year-old boy.

The subject was grazed in the ankle, and he was transported by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue in stable condition, Charles Jr. said.

Charles Jr. added that police recovered a firearm with an extended clip near where the teen was struck.

The three other teenagers were taken into custody by police. It is unclear what charges they will face.

Jeff Hafley drops cold line about expectations for Dolphins

Jeff Hafley drops cold line about expectations for Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins have gone full rebuild mode during the 2026 offseason. Miami hired Jeff Hafley at head coach and promptly gutted the roster of veteran talent, including quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. The Dolphins plan to completely rebuild the organization from the ground up, which includes installing a brand new culture.

Hafley dropped a cold line at the NFL’s Annual League Meeting about setting a standard for his team. He gave an example of expecting his to perform despite adversity, including Miami’s intense heat.

“We’re going to sit down and have that conversation, and then don’t get mad at me when it’s 110 degrees and you don’t feel like doing it anymore,” Hafley said per team transcripts. “I’m going to make you do it because you told me when you were comfortable in this meeting room, in air conditioning, that that’s what you wanted and I’m going to remind you of that.”

Hafley wants his coaching staff to follow his lead, holding players accountable during practice sessions. If the Dolphins truly want to be a great team, that could be a necessary step.

“It’s going to be a shared vision and then my job and our job as coaches is to hold them to that, because if you’re telling me you want to be up here and be this great, OK, well this is what we’re going to do,” Hafley added.

One reason why Hafley’s approach could be smart is because Miami is about to add a ton of young talent.

Miami gained the 30th overall pick after trading Jaylen Waddle, giving them two first-round picks in April’s draft. The Dolphins will enter the draft with 11 total picks, allowing them to install the foundation of their roster for years to come.

It will be exciting to see Miami’s new culture take shape under Hafley’s leadership.
