The Miami Heat are away to a sputtering Charlotte Hornets side in their next assignment in the NBA. They enter this match as the seventh seed and with a four-game advantage over their 10th-seeded hosts. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
The Hornets have returned home after a shaky four-game road trip to the Western Conference. They won in Sacramento and Portland but lost in San Antonio and Phoenix.
Charles Lee’s men, who lost to the Heat the last time they were home, were outscored 115-102 by the Spurs last time out. This sputtering form has denied them the chance to scale up the East standings and strengthen their postseason chances.
The Hornets have compiled a 34-34 record and are 6.5 games ahead of the teams outside the play-in.
The Heat have won all three meetings with the Hornets this season. They won 128-120 in the most recent meeting 10 days ago. That win was part of a seven-match winning streak that was cut short last time out by the Magic.
In a battle between two in-form teams, Erik Spoelstra’s men were outscored 121-117 to suffer their 30th loss of the season. There was a positive in the loss, as Norman Powell and Tyler Herro made their returns from injury.

Aside from the difference in form, another advantage that the Heat have is their 100% record in this fixture this season.
