The NBA, the best basketball league in the world, is back in action this weekend with a game between two teams that had a rough start to the season: after Thursday’s game, the Hornets vs Heat will meet again in Miami.
The Heat’s 117-112 victory just 48 hours ago will still be fresh in their minds; in this way, both teams will be aiming for a win to validate what they have accomplished and to seek revenge, which will allow them to shift the erratic course they have been on this season.

Betting on the Charlotte Hornets
- Season record: 3-10
- Spread: +10 (-110)
- Moneyline: +400
- Over/Under: 215 (-110)
Saturday’s game will be the second of three away games for the Hornets, who haven’t had a good start to the season: they have a streak of 5 losing games.
They’re still missing LaMelo Ball (ankle injury), Cody Martin and Gordon Hayward (shoulder injury), who still have no confirmed return date from their respective injuries. In this context, power forward P.J. Washington has been performing very well to compensate for the absence of LaMelo Ball.
Betting on the Miami Heat
- Season record: 5-7
- Spread: -10
- Moneyline: -500
- Over/Under: 215 (-110)
Miami’s team has been evenly matched, alternating victories with defeats to leave a negative balance for the moment. Although the balance is positive, November has been similar to their poor start to the season, with wins against the Golden State Warriors, Sacramento Kings first and Charlotte Hornets later, but also losses to the Indiana Pacers and Portland Trail Blazers.
For this new match against the Hornets, they won’t be able to count on Victor Oladipo, who has a knee injury, and Omer Yurtseven, with an ankle injury (none of these players have yet made their debuts this season). Meanwhile, they are waiting for good news regarding Udonis Haslem, Tyler Herro and Caleb Martin.
JefeBet Prediction
This appears to be an ideal opponent to break such a bad skid. In other words, we at JefeBet believe the Miami Heat will win, mostly because the Hornets have suffered huge losses and have proven to lack strength playing away from home.
Prediction: Miami Heat wins by more than 10 points.
