Spread & Over/Under Predictions for Hornets vs. Heat
In this story:
Each game day, we at All Hornets will release an article on our thoughts on the spread and the over/under of Charlotte Hornets games. The star ratings next to the play describe the overall confidence in that particular play.
Star ratings:
1 Star - Not very confident
2 Star - A little confident
3 Star - Fairly confident
4 Star - Very confident
5 Star - Should be a lock to happen
Spread: Heat -3.5
1 Star play on the Heat (-3.5): The Hornets turned it over 18 times in the 111-105 loss to Miami earlier this season. LaMelo Ball, who is out for tonight's game, was responsible for eight of them. They knocked down 15 triples and still lost. I don't see the Hornets shooting it that well again tonight without those shots from deep, it'll be hard to overcome the giveaways.
Over/Under: 221.5
1 Star play on the under: This line is right where it should be. Don't be fooled by the recent Miami Heat scores. They played two of the top three scoring offenses in three of their last five games, so those totals are a bit inflated. Although it hasn't quite been a defensive clinic as usual from an Erik Spoelstra-led team, they're still one of the better defenses in the NBA. It's a low total, but one I think stays under.
My picks this season
ATS: 7-8 (46%)
O/U: 7-8 (46%)
Overall: 14-16 (46%)
