Charlotte Hornets vs Miami Heat Live Stream Online

Can Miami repeat the success from a month ago? On October 27, Charlotte lost to the Heat at home with a score of 106-114. Now, the Hornets are in a more dire state, while Miami is gradually getting back on track. In this situation, we will try to analyze all the details to provide you with an accurate prediction.

Head-to-head meetings

In head-to-head confrontations, all the numbers favor Miami. Over a span of 63 games, Charlotte has won only 22 times, while the Heat have achieved positive results 41 times. Therefore, Miami’s recent October victory (114-106) was not a big surprise for the basketball community.

Charlotte Hornets

Charlotte still cannot break its losing streak. Yes, the team sometimes delivers quality games, but after single victories, they suffer several defeats in a row. For instance, the Hornets achieved the desired result in only 2 of their last 8 games. On November 26, Charlotte, with the support of home fans, couldn’t put up decent resistance against Orlando (84-95), scoring only 84 points in offense (the team’s worst result this season). In such a situation, one can only feel sorry for one player – LaMelo Ball. No matter how hard he tries (44 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists against the Magic), his efforts are never enough for victory.

Miami Heat

Miami, on the other hand, is showing more acceptable results than Charlotte. Undoubtedly, the team’s play is still far from ideal, but they have started winning against serious opponents. In November, for example, they defeated Minnesota (95-94), Philadelphia (106-89), and Dallas (123-118). Thanks to positive results in recent matches, Miami has soared into the top 6 of the Eastern Conference standings. Considering that the team has no serious staffing issues (almost all injured players have returned), the Heat should continue to progress.

Editorial prediction

Sportsbooks consider Miami a clear favorite in the upcoming confrontation. Despite the team significantly improving in recent matches, our editorial believes in Charlotte. Firstly, Charlotte at home leaves only positive impressions with their play (5-4). It is worth noting that 3 of their 4 losses were against Boston (109-124 and 103-113) and Orlando (84-95), who are in the top 3 in the East. Secondly, for Miami, the upcoming game will be their second in two days. After a match with such a serious opponent as Milwaukee, the team clearly doesn’t have much energy left. Therefore, Charlotte’s victory with a handicap (+7.5) seems like a viable option.
