Randy’s Pick
Don't look now, but the Miami Heat have won 5 straight games, and they're getting good play out of their role players while Herro and Caleb Martin remain out. The Charlotte Hornets have not only lost 6 of their last 8 games, but they're still without Terry Rozier and Miles Bridges. The Heat have won 7 of the last 9 meetings against the Hornets. You could argue this line should be steeper. Give me the Heat and the chalk.
