Spread & Over/Under Predictions for Hornets vs Heat
Each game day, we at All Hornets will release an article on our thoughts on the spread and the over/under of Charlotte Hornets games. The star ratings next to the play describe the overall confidence in that particular play.
Star ratings:
1 Star - Not very confident
2 Star - A little confident
3 Star - Fairly confident
4 Star - Very confident
5 Star - Should be a lock to happen
Spread: Heat -5.5
3 Star play on the Hornets: Dare I say the Hornets are turning the corner? Eh, I don't know about all that but they have won three of the last five and a big reason for that is because they are starting to finally get healthy for the first time this season. Maybe I'm just sipping the recency bias Kool-Aid, but I actually believe Charlotte can steal this one.
Over/Under: 223.5
3 Star play on the under: This is a very low total, but there's a reason for it. Miami has the second-best defense in the league allowing just a tick over 108 points per game and play at a very slow pace. They rank 28th in the NBA in field goal percentage (45.3%) and the Hornets are dead last (45%). Neither team will get very far over the 100-point mark in this one. Play the under.
My picks for the season
ATS: 13-13 (50%)
O/U: 17-9 (65%)
Overall: 30-22 (57%)
