Because this game takes place in Miami, we have to think about whether playing on the road really matters for Charlotte. The odds imply that it does.
One big way in which playing on the road can hurt a team is with its three-point shooting. It is generally harder for many teams to shoot better on the road than inside their own arena.
But Charlotte is not one of those teams. In fact, its three-point percentage is a solid 38 in road games while it only shoots 34.6 percent from deep at home. Besides, the Hornets have been a solid road team in general. They’re 5-1 ATS in their last six road games.
