Miami Hawks vs Atlanta Hawks: Key matchups

Andrew Wiggins vs Zaccharie Risacher

The matchup at the small forward position pits two highly skilled wings who are both adjusting to new environments. Wiggins is still trying to get a feel of the system and culture of the Miami Heat after being traded by the Golden State Warriors in the Jimmy Butler deal. Meanwhile, Risacher is adapting to the NBA grind after being selected first overall in last year's Draft.

Kel'el Ware vs Onyeka Okongwu

Both starting centers are promising big men who could become core pieces in the near future.

Ware has been putting up solid numbers in scoring and rebounding off late, proving himself to be a good frontcourt piece alongside Bam Adebayo. Since being taken sixth overall in the 2020 NBA Draft, Okongwu has steadily improved his production and built a strong case to be a starting center.

Tyler Herro vs Trae Young

This year, Young made his fourth All-Star appearance, while Herro made his All-Star debut. Similarities in the two elite guards' skill sets include the ability to light it up from deep and the clutch gene. As a matter of fact, this Heat-Hawks matchup could come down to a final possession involving either All-Star.
