On Jan. 15, 1929, social rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. was born in Atlanta, Georgia. It's no wonder, then, that the Atlanta Hawks almost always play at home on MLK Day.
This year, the Hawks will host Jimmy Butler's Heat in one of nine games played on the holiday. The two teams met in the first round of the 2022 NBA Playoffs, with Miami defeating Atlanta in five games.
Butler led the charge for the Heat with 30.5 points, 7.8 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game in the series, while Hawks star Trae Young struggled to the tune of 15.4 points per game on 31.9 percent shooting.
The Heat's Bam Adebayo starred in the first matchup between the two teams this season. Who will come out on top in the second? Here is everything you need to know about Heat vs. Hawks, including TV and streaming options for the game.
