Expert picks & predictions for Sunday’s Hornets vs. Heat game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Heat to cover against the Hornets:
“While Miami has lost 10 straight games and playing its worst basketball, you’d have to expect this is a spot they have circled for a win after playing postseason competition over the past few games. Splitting with Charlotte would be a rough outcome in any season for Miami. It’s Miami or pass as Charlotte continues the tank for the worst record.”
