Prediction for the NBA Charlotte Hornets vs Miami Heat match, which will take place on January 29th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Hornets started winning more often at the start of the second half of the season. It is partly due to the empty infirmary and partially because the team got used to the demands of the new head coach, Steve Clifford. So in the last five matches, Charlotte has three wins. The Hornets, in particular, beat the teams from the play-in zone of the East, Atlanta (122:118) and Chicago (111:96) in this segment. A good result, although not mainly, is over, which affected Charlotte's tournament prospects. The team is the penultimate in the Eastern Conference with a balance of 14-36.

Although still experiencing considerable problems in attack, the Heat defends well, thanks to which they have almost not lost recently. In nine previous matches, Erik Spoelstra's team lost only twice, including taking two wins from Milwaukee and beating the leader of the Eastern Conference, Boston. Miami has already reached the playoff zone and occupies sixth place in the East with a 28-22 balance.

The Heat have recently reached their level – Erik Spoelstra's team shows the best defense in the NBA and acts as one of the main favorites of the Eastern Conference. Miami will likely continue its victorious tradition in the meeting with Charlotte. The Hornets have started to win more often, but only in matches with the average and outsiders. Steve Clifford's team is not yet able to resist the contenders. It is enough to recall two recent matches with Boston, lost to Charlotte at home with a difference of 10+ points.
