*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Friday, February 24th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Saturday, February 25th.
Miami Heat
Certainly, the addition of Kevin Love was expected to help the Heat, but I doubt many thought he would draw the start but that’s what happened.
Indeed, his presence is needed for rebounding and shooting, however, he went scoreless in his debut although he did contribute elsewhere with eight rebounds, four assists, a steal, and a block in 22 minutes.
Stats
Offensively, the Heat scores 108.3 points per game ranking 30th while shooting 45.2% from the field and 33.4% from the perimeter ranking 30th and 28th respectively.
Comparatively, on defense, the Heat allow opponents to score 108.3 points per game ranking second overall. Miami opponents shoot 47.7% from the field and 36.7% from the perimeter ranking 19th and 20th respectively.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Omer Yurtseven C (OUT indefinitely — ankle surgery)
- Nikola Jovic SF (OUT indefinitely, — lower back, stress reaction)
- Kyle Lowry G (OUT—knee soreness)
Charlotte Hornets
Presently, the Hornets reside in the 14th position of the Eastern Conference. In spite of their victory versus the Wolves they still are two wins shy of reaching 20 wins.
Regardless, the Hornets are destined to be hoping the lottery balls bounce their way and they land Victor Wembanyama to pair with the uber-talented LaMelo Ball.
Season Stats
Charlotte ranks 24th averaging 112.5 points per game while shooting 45.5% from the field and 32.6% from the perimeter ranking 27th and 30th respectively.
Defensively, Charlotte is giving up an average of 118.9 points which ranks 28th. Opponents shoot 48.0% from the field and 36.8% from the perimeter ranking 24th and 21st respectively.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Cody Martin, SF (questionable — left knee soreness)

Free Miami Heat vs. Charlotte Hornets NBA Prediction:
Undoubtedly, Miami looked like a team who was playing a back-to-back on Friday– not a team who was playing their first game after a long break. There was no energy or physicality on either end which was shocking given their identity.
Expect that to change as the Heat use this match to bounce back and take out their frustrations on the tanking Hornets.
