Video Summary

The Miami Heat have played 19 games since their February 1st loss to the 76ers, with 13 of those games resulting in a score of 112 or more points, which is a 68% success rate. This is a trend that bodes well for the over in the first quarter, where they have a season record of 48-33 (59.3%) and are the number two team in the league with a 29-11 (81.3%) record at home. The Atlanta Hawks, on the other hand, have a 25-15 (62.5%) record in the first quarter on the road.

When looking at the season series between the two teams, the average first quarter scoring was 58 points, but the most recent game between the teams on March 4th saw a first quarter score of 55 points. However, the Hawks had a poor shooting performance in that quarter, making only 26.7% of their field goals. This could be an anomaly, as they have shown the ability to score 73, 64, and 54 points in the first quarter in other games. With the Heat's focus on offense and the Hawks' struggles on defense, the trend suggests that the first quarter will go over 58 points.
