Charlotte Hornets vs Miami Heat Prop Betting Analysis
Numbers from Draft Kings
The Heat travel to Charlotte to finish out the first half of the season for both teams. The Heat are fighting for the top seed in the East and have won five out of six games while the Hornets have imploded as they’ve lost eight out of nine with their lone win being against Detroit.
Both teams feature some intriguing player props so let’s take a look at the numbers of props in this game.
Charlotte Hornets vs Miami Heat Team Prop Totals
The Heat’s team total is 115.5 and the Hornets team total is 110.5, and I lean over for the Heat as I think they win, but it’s a bit too high for me as they scored 99 against Dallas and they only scored 104 last game against Charlotte.
I do like the spot for Charlotte on the under tonight. They’ve flown over this total the last three games, but one was an overtime game against Minnesota, one was a loss to Memphis and the other was to Detroit.
Before that they went under this total in six straight games, and they’ve played Miami twice this season and didn’t get to 100 points in either game.
Prediction: Hornets Under 110.5
Charlotte Hornets vs Miami Heat Player Prop Totals
I’ll start with Lamelo Ball and the under 34.5 Pts+Reb+Assts. The Heat’s defense is great on the perimeter and they can easily frustrate Lamelo.
Last game against Miami Lamelo had 12 points 6 rebounds and 3 assists coming in way under the PRA total. I also think the books have the number on Bam Adebayo too hight at 37.5 PRA.
Charlotte is terrible against centers, but this number is Dejounte Murray territory, and he doesn’t get there much. He’s gone under this total in 13 out of 15 games, and came under this total against Charlotte in both games this season.
Player Prop Prediction: Lamelo Ball Under 34.5 Pts+Reb+Assts
