Result:
LOSS

Charlotte has won two in a row and is on the playoff bubble, closing in on the #8 seed. This young team is #9 in the NBA in points allowed and #11 in rebounding. Kemba Walker is their leading scorer and is expected to return tonight after missing the last two games. The Hornets are on a 7-1 ATS run, and are 5-0 ATS against a team with a losing record. Charlotte has won seven of eight, with their only loss coming 98-93 to defending champion San Antonio last week. The Hornets have surrendered 88.1 points per game during their run for the NBA's second-lowest mark since January 3rd. Charlotte clamped down again in Monday's easy 105-80 victory over Minnesota. The Hornets held the Timberwolves to 36.3% shooting and a combined 32 points in the second and third quarters. While Charlotte is rested, Miami had to play last night, in a sluggish 94-86 loss at home to OKC. Miami has dropped four of their last five on the second of back-to-backs, including three straight on the road by an average of 18.6 points. Lay the points on Charlotte.
