Recent history between the Hornets and Heat

The Heat have dominated this matchup over the years, winning 14 of the last 17 meetings, which is mind-boggling. One of those defeats came last year when the Hornets snuck out of Miami with a 105-102 victory in March. Charlotte's starting five that night was LaMelo Ball, Josh Green, DaQuan Jeffries, Miles Bridges, and Mark Williams. Bridges was red-hot in that one, scoring 35 points on 12/19 shooting, including a 5/11 night from downtown.

Odds via FanDuel Sportsbook

The Hornets are currently 6-point underdogs, and once again, the absence of Brandon Miller is likely keeping this line from being much tighter. Charlotte was able to get things fixed after a sloppy start the other night in Washington, but it's the Wizards, with all due respect. A slow start and long stretches of poor play on both ends of the floor won't bode well for the Hornets tonight in Miami. It's going to take a full 48-minute effort to steal this one and return home with a 3-1 record. The over/under is sitting at 240.5, which makes sense given how these two teams play with pace.
