The Atlanta Hawks take on the Miami Heat at American Airlines Arena on Tuesday night.

The Hawks (2-1) have been one of the pleasant surprises of the Eastern Conference in the early going, and they gave the Philadelphia 76ers all they could handle Monday night before falling, 105-103, for their first loss of the campaign. Trae Young led the Hawks with 25 points, adding nine assists and four rebounds. John Collins supplied 16 points, eight rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block. De'Andre Hunter turned in 14 points, nine rebounds, one assist and one steal. Bruno Fernando led the bench with 11 points and four rebounds.

The Hawks will likely continue to be without Allen Crabbe (knee) and Chandler Parsons (knees) for Tuesday's contest.

Like their Tuesday opponents, the Heat (2-1) has also impressed early in the new season. Miami did suffer its first loss of the season in its most recent contest, however, falling to the Minnesota Timberwolves by a 116-109 score on Sunday evening. Kendrick Nunn paced the Heat with 25 points, adding four rebounds, two assists and two steals. Duncan Robinson furnished 21 points, two rebounds, one assist and two blocks. Justise Winslow continued his strong start with 20 points, adding eight rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal. Bam Adebayo and Goran Dragic generated matching 13-point tallies while pulling down nine and five rebounds, respectively.

The Heat will be without Derrick Jones, Jr. (groin), Dion Waiters (suspension/coach's decision) and James Johnson (conditioning/coach's decision) for Tuesday's contest, while Kelly Olynyk (quadriceps) will be listed as questionable. Udonis Haslem (wrist) will likely be listed as questionable at best.

The Hawks won the four-game 2018-19 season series between the clubs by a 3-1 margin.
