Miami Heat vs Charlotte Hornets prediction

The Charlotte Hornets continue to lose, they’re still without LaMelo, and they’re 8-12 ATS despite being underdogs most nights. The Heat have won 8 of the last 10 meetings against the Hornets, and that includes a win less than a month ago. There’s also a chance the Heat get back Haywood Highsmith and Bam Adebayo, as they were questionable at the time of this writing. We’re not laying anything crazy. Give me the Heat.
