Pre-match view
Charlotte has the stronger, though narrow and low-confidence, full-game case because of its recent home wins over Miami, but the Atlanta blowout and Miami's higher-scoring recent profile make it fragile.
No player forecasts are supported, so rotation uncertainty remains unresolved.
Miami's reported first-unit alignment around Antetokounmpo and Adebayo, with Thompson listed ahead of Hardaway on the wing, shapes the Heat's spacing and wing rotation in Charlotte, though the depth-chart basis is not confirmed.
NBA rules: full-game winner, handicap and totals include overtime. The 48-minute result, halves and quarters exclude it.
Experimental forecasts: accuracy has not yet been validated against historical results.
