Charlotte at Miami

The Charlotte Bobcats are playing well, a young team that is focused on defense, No. 2 in the NBA in points allowed. That defense helps away from home, and the Bobcats are 5-0 ATS in their last five road games. Charlotte is 2-5 ATS in their last 17 vs. the Eastern Conference. They are a big dog to a Miami team that is on a roll and has nothing to prove, plus it's possible LeBron James misses a game for the first time this season.  James said after the contest that he was looking forward to Saturday's day off after injuring his back in a collision with Toronto's Tyler Hansbrough. According to reports, it's possible the reigning MVP could be held out of Sunday's game. When these teams meet, the road team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings, so grab the visitors and their strong defense. Play Charlotte.
