The Charlotte Hornets (34-34) visit the Miami Heat (38-30) in an NBA 2025-26 matchup on Tuesday, March 17, at Kaseya Center.
Miami has completely dictated the terms of their head-to-head encounters this season, winning all three meetings. The Heat notched a commanding 144-117 victory in October, followed by a 126-108 win in November, and most recently held off the Hornets for a 128-120 win earlier this month.
However, the Heat are coming off a hard-fought 121-117 loss to the Orlando Magic, where their perimeter offense went cold, hitting just 31.6% from beyond the arc. Jaime Jaquez Jr. topscored for the Heat with 22 markers, while Bam Adebayo and Norman Powell chipped in 20 apiece.
The loss to the Magic snapped the Heat's seven-game winning streak. They're still in fine form, despite missing the services of Andrew Wiggins and Nikola Jovic.
The Hornets are also looking to bounce back after suffering a 115-102 defeat at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs. They allowed the Spurs to generate 58 points in the paint. On offense, the Hornets also came in cold, shooting just 37.6% from the field.
The positive thing for the Hornets heading into Tuesday is they don't have any key names listed on their injury report.
