The Heat to Win Again
The Charlotte Hornets continue to struggle, having lost several games and being without LaMelo Ball. Their current ATS (Against the Spread) record stands at 8-13, despite often being the underdogs.
The Miami Heat have won 11 of their last 13 games against the Hornets, and are expected to benefit from their strong defence. The Hornets have been inconsistent offensively, especially in LaMelo Ball’s absence, providing an opportunity for the Heat to cover the spread.
Bet 1: Miami Heat -5.5
The Game to Go Over
The over has been successful in 4 of Charlotte’s last 5 games, and has a season record of 13-7 for the Hornets. Based on the stats, the over 223.5 is one of my favourite predictions to help you secure a win.
Additionally, the over has achieved a 4-2 record in Miami’s last 6 games. Additionally, it holds a 5-2 record in the last 7 head-to-head games between Miami and Charlotte.
Bet 2: Over 223.5 Points
Miami Heat to Control the Game
The Hornets will be without key players such as LaMelo Ball, Cody Martin, and Frank Ntilikina due to injuries. Nick Smith Jr. and Mark Williams remain uncertain.
Miami hold a slight advantage over the struggling Hornets due to their consistent offensive and defensive system. The Hornets have been conceding an average of 121.3 points per game, while the Heat score an average of 112.4 points per game.
Bet 3: Miami Heat over 115.5
Jimmy Butler to Shine
Jimmy Butler has stepped up for the Heat, particularly with key players like Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, Haywood Highsmith, and Dru Smith all absent due to injuries.
Butler has been delivering impressive numbers, averaging 21.9 points and 4.3 assists this season. His standout performance includes remarkable games against the Hornets this season, where he recorded 55 points and 16 assists across two games.
Bet 4: Jimmy Butler Over 30 points + assists
