Analysis

The money has been on the Over as it opened 18.5 @ -110 before it was bet up to 19.5 @ -115.

Key Factors

Favors Over

The matchup vs. the Heat is a favorable one; they have given up the 4th-most points per game in the NBA to opposing starting PGs over the last 10 games (23.1).
The Hornets are expected to see a spike in opportunities in this game from competing against the quickest pace-of-play offense in the NBA this year (the Heat).
The Charlotte Hornets check in as the best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 25 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore create additional opportunities for scoring and assists).
Over the last 5 games, the opposition's starting PGs have attempted 5.8 foul shots per game (3rd-most in the league) against the Miami Heat, making it fairly effortless to draw fouls.

Favors Under

In regard to shooting, the Charlotte Hornets's poor 45.3% field goal percentage while on their home court places worst in the league this year.
The 3rd-most lethargic tempo offense in the NBA over the last 25 games has been the Hornets.
