Charlotte at Miami

Miami played last night making this a difficult situational spot, even if it's at home. The Heat is 1-4 ATS at home and 1-4 ATS against a team with a losing record. Unlike Miami, Charlotte is rested and the Hornets are 3-1-1 ATS against the Eastern Conference. Charlotte has already beaten Miami, a 96-89 win November 5. Al Jefferson led the way with 28 points and 10 rebounds, and Kemba Walker scored 18. Charlotte is off a loss, but a good bounce back team at 3-1-1 ATS after a spread loss, as well as 11-5-2 ATS in their last 18 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Dwyane Wade has missed the last five games with a strained hamstring, leaving his status for Sunday unclear. When these teams meet, the road team is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings, so grab the rested dog. Play Charlotte for my NBA Game of the Month.
