Charlotte isn't a team to be laying big points with and the Hornets are in a flat spot coming off an impressive blowout win against Orlando and with a look-ahead game against the Cavaliers up next.

The Heat are struggling due to injuries, but point guard Goran Dragic - their second-best player - made it through today's shoot-around and is expected to play after missing Tuesday's game. Justise Winslow and Josh Richardson have flashed and are playing more consistent. They should be in line for strong games with Dragic returning to the lineup.

Hassan Whiteside gives the Heat the best big man on the floor. He's having a strong season, but had a bad game on Tuesday drawing criticism. The prideful Whiteside should come up big here.

Miami usually is undervalued on the road where it has covered six of the last eight times. That's the case here.
