Charlotte vs Miami Prediction: Will the Hornets Restore the Balance?

Prediction for the NBA Charlotte Hornets vs Miami Heat match will take place on February 26th. Miami and Charlotte will play the final game of the season series. The Heat won two of their first three meetings. Can the Hornets restore the balance? Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The season is long over for the Hornets, and the team has no tournament goals. However, contrary to expectations, they did not become the main source of talent for contending teams during the trade deadline. That means Charlotte is still very dangerous. Steve Clifford's three wins streak against Miami supports that assertion. Charlotte took turns against Atlanta (144-138), San Antonio (120-110), and Minnesota (121-111), showing fabulous offense.

The Heat will play a back-to-back home game against a major rival, Milwaukee Bucks. The Heat conceded 73 points in the first half, lost by 17, and didn't get back into the game in the end (99-128). The only person worth mentioning on the Miami roster was Kevin Love, who played his first game for the new team. The experienced forward didn't score but earned 8 points and four assists. We can already say that Love will help the Heat.

Miami has suffered three losses, and this meeting will be an excellent opportunity to break that streak. The Hornets have been a comfortable opponent for the Heat in recent seasons, and given their position in the standings, the Flames should reassert their edge. We'd like to bet on Miami and their high scoring performance as all games between the teams this season have been productive.
