Miami at Charlotte

Game of the Week

Charlotte is one of the big success stories this season, as it appears to have finally broken through with a competitive team after years of rebuilding with high draft choices. The Hornets have won eight of 11, and they come off a split of a four-game road trip. They have won eight of nine against Southeast Division teams, and the Hornets have covered six of seven versus Eastern Conference opponents. Charlotte is 5-1 ATS in its past six home contests, and it looks for payback for its last home loss, which was against Miami on March 6. The Heat had its seven-game win streak snapped in a 121-117 loss to Orlando on Saturday. However, only two of those wins were against teams that were over .500. Charlotte is 41-27 ATS, including 19-12 ATS at home in 2025-26. Take the Hornets.
