Charlotte Hornets vs Miami Heat

At the start of the year, the Charlotte Hornets were looking less like a contender and more like a team that would be sitting home during the NBA playoffs. However, they’ve been scorching-hot lately, winning 14-of-17 games and improving to 38-29. Can you believe that the Hornets are now within just one game of third place in the Eastern Conference?

Kemba Walker is just a gamer. The Hornets’ point guard doesn’t take losing very well, and he hasn’t for his entire basketball career. He’s the key cog in Charlotte’s playoff engine and he’s leading the way with 21.5 points, 5.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game. Nicolas Batum was a nice addition in the offseason and provides a long-range threat.

The Miami Heat are the current third place team in the Eastern Conference and will need to win in order to keep that spot and hold the Hornets off. The Heat have won 6-of-8 games after a little rough patch a couple weeks ago and they seem to be back on track. If the veterans on this team can get the job done, Miami will be OK come playoff time.

As Chris Bosh inches toward a return from his blood clot scare, Dwyane Wade will need to be the leader of this team — something he has done for over a decade now. Wade is putting up a team-high 19.1 points while adding 4.8 assists per game, second to only Goran Dragic. Joe Johnson is a nice mid-season addition while Hassan Whiteside is a blossoming star in the post.
