Miami at Charlotte

2025-26 NBA Championship

April 14, 2026
img7:30 PM Eastern

Charlotte is 10-4 in its past 14 games and 10-1 against Southeast Division foes. The Hornets come into the play-in tournament winners of five of seven, including Sunday's 110-96 victory over New York. The Hornets have been one of the better stories in the NBA this season, following years of mediocrity and rebuilding. Charlotte has plenty of offensive firepower with five scorers averaging double figures, led by Brandon Miller (20.2) and LaMelo Ball (20.1). Miami has lost 10 of 15 and five of its past nine games, and the Heat are just 17-24 on the road this season. The Hornets destroyed the Heat 136-106 in the last meeting on March 17. Take the Hornets on the moneyline.
