Expert Betting Tips

Miami has serious tournament motivation. Theoretically, the Heat can still finish in the top 6 of the Eastern Conference. Therefore, they can't afford to throw away home games against outsiders, which includes Charlotte. That's why we're backing the Heat to win their next game and think it won't be efficient. The Hornets are the penultimate team in the offensive rating, and Miami has some issues on the offensive end after the trade deadline and the Jimmy Butler trade.
