Free Miami Heat vs. Charlotte Hornets NBA Prediction:
While the Hornets seem to be playing better lately, they are still a tanking club and the Heat brings physicality which is something the Hornets are allergic to.
In contrast, Hornets head coach Steve Clifford loves physicality and may try to motivate his young team to match the Heat. I’m not sure it’s in their DNA but I’ll take the points with the Heat still winning.
