Expert picks & predictions for Monday’s Hornets vs. Heat game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans Miami to cover against Charlotte:
“The Hornets are 2-0 ATS in the last two games but failed to cover three consecutive before that. Miami was on a 6-0 ATS streak before losing outright to Chicago in the past game for their third straight ML loss (Cleveland, Minnesota, Chicago). I like the current status of the Heat for a bounce-back against a team they are 2-0 against, so it’s Miami or pass for me. This is the third game in four days for both teams, which is a tough spot, so the Under isn’t a bad look either.”
