Charlotte at Miami

This is a huge game for both teams as the final three slots of the NBA Eastern Conference playoffs are there for the taking among six teams all in position to claim them. These are two of those teams. The Heat are 19-4 over their last 23 games, and appear to be a logical choice to gain one of the last three slots, but playing at a high level is hard to sustain for a mediocre team. Charlotte imploded over a 24-game stretch that saw them go 5-19, and now have to fight their way down the stretch. They have, however, gotten their house in order as they are 4-2 over their last six games, including 5-1 ATS. Charlotte is the better team as both of these teams are here because of recent runs, good and bad, but Charlotte has it going again. Take Charlotte.
