Charlotte Hornets vs Miami Heat preview

The Hornets are out of playoff contention and need to go back to the drawing board and plan for next season. It all starts with the draft. Charlotte is 4-6 over the past 10 games and is coming off of a lopsided 141-106 loss to the OKC Thunder on Friday.

Miles Bridges led the team with 20 points, while Nick Smith Jr. and Josh Green contributed 14 and 12 points, respectively.

The Heat are going through a terrible stretch and have lost 10 straight games. While they are still poised to make the play-in tournament, things don’t look very promising for their postseason chances.

Miami is coming off of a 102-98 loss to the Houston Rockets on Friday. Andrew Wiggins led the team with 30 points, while Kel’el Ware had a double-double of 16 points and 14 rebounds. Bam Adebayo contributed 16 points as well.

Charlotte Hornets vs Miami Heat betting props

Miles Bridges’ points total is set at 20.5, which is under his season average of 21.0 points. While the oddsmakers don’t favor him to go over, we feel like this is a good spot to take a risk and go over.

Bam Adebayo’s points total is set at 18.5. While his status is questionable with a sprained left ankle, if he plays, he should be able to score more than 18.5 points.

Charlotte Hornets vs Miami Heat prediction

The oddsmakers expect the Heat to get a win at home. We expect the same and Miami should end its horrid run with a convincing win on Sunday. This should be a low-scoring game with the team total just going past 212.5 points.
