Heats came out on top of the Eastern Conference, for which we must pay tribute not only to players, but also to the head coach. The team has been striving for this for a long time and now it is very important to keep the lead. Miami played great in the last meeting when they put the Lakers in their place (113-107). The game was held at the home arena, so the hosts felt confident in their abilities. LeBron James failed to cut off the oxygen, but this did not prevent him from ending the confrontation in his favor. Wards of Eric Spoelstra are moving on and the match with the Knicks is next in line.
More recently, the Hornets have shown an excellent game and won several games in a row. But in recent matches the Hornets did not look the best. Wards Borrego lost to Atlanta (91:113) and Toronto (113:125). But they still managed to keep the seventh line in the East. Charlotte has no special losses. Only the appearance on the site of Gordon Hayward is in question. It is very likely that he will not take part in the upcoming meeting. Want more up-to-date NBA odds prediction and stay informed?
