The Hornets will be without Brandon Miller, Josh Green, and Grant Williams. LaMelo Ball is questionable.
Charlotte Hornets vs Miami Heat Prediction
The Heat will be without Adebayo and head coach Erik Spoelstra’s house just burned down, so there’s injuries and distractions Miami is dealing with. However, the Heat are still rolling offensively and have vets capable of grabbing wins against bad teams. The Hornets are a bad team, and there’s a chance they could be without Ball. The Heat have won 8 of the last 9 games against the Hornets. With Powell, Wiggins, and others still on the floor, there are no excuses for the Heat. I’ll lay the points.
