Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Full-Time Result – Handicap (-3.5) for Heat – 1.93.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Match Points Under 233.5 – 1.54.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Three – Heat’s Points Under 115.5 – 2.00.
The Miami Heat is motivated to take back the lead. Of course, it will not be easy to prove themselves in an away clash, but the Heat has been quite confident this season.
The Charlotte Hornets need a win more than ever, as the ninth-place puts pressure on the guys. That wasn’t the scenario that James Borrego was preparing for. In our opinion, the Hornets will put up a good fight against one of the leaders in the East.
However, hardly anyone can stop Bam Adebayo and the Heat will win the game with a 5-point handicap.
It’s important for the home team to get the result they want now, not to show a high-scoring game on the court. The Heat is unlikely to go out in the open on the road, so we suggest betting on the total of less.
