The Hornets-Heat game, taking place Friday at the Kaseya Center, is predicted by bookmakers to be the highest-scoring game of Friday's NBA slate, with a Game Total set at 242.5 points. This is interesting, as both teams scored only 112 points in their respective recent losses.
Miami couldn't overcome Denver at the Ball Arena; the victory was expected, as the Nuggets were 9.5-point favorites in the betting odds. The Heat attempted 41 three-pointers in the loss, making 14, but the game went against them due to their meager 5 offensive rebounds, while the Nuggets grabbed 21. The Heat couldn't prevent Jokic from recording another triple-double, so Wiggins' 22 points weren't enough.
The Hornets are well-rested, having not played since Tuesday's 116-112 loss at Smoothie King Arena. In that defeat, rookie Kon Knuckleball recorded 20 points and 12 rebounds. It was a tough loss for Charlotte, who, after tying the game at halftime, went on an 11-0 run but ultimately lost by 10 points in the final quarter.

Our Miami Heat vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction
Bam Bam will miss Friday's game against the Hornets due to a sprained left toe, according to the Heat. Kelel Ware is the immediate candidate to replace him on Friday.
On October 28, the Heat truly crushed the Hornets in their last visit to Miami. The Heat racked up a resounding 144-117 victory. That day, Jaquez Jr. had a 28-point night, and seven different Heat players reached double figures.
Our prediction for Hornets vs Heat is: Heat -5.
