Miami Heat vs. Atlanta Hawks: 3 big questions and a prediction

Will Trae Young be the best player on the floor?

If the Atlanta Hawks are going to have any shot of applying pressure on the Miami Heat in this series, they’re going to need Trae Young to be the best player on the floor. That’s exactly what we saw last season when the Hawks made their run in the postseason.

Quite frankly, that’s really the only shot the Hawks have at extending this series beyond five games. Young is going to have to be special and will be able to spark the rest of the Hawks’ supporting cast.

And it’s not even that outlandish to say, because Young absolutely has the potential to pull this off. The big question is whether or not he’ll be able to do so against an elite defense such as the Heat.
