I'm playing on Miami and Charlotte to finish UNDER the total. The playoffs brought an increased level of defensive intensity yesterday (all 4 games went Under) and I expect to see more of that at Miami this afternoon. Charlotte has seen five straight games finish above the total. NONE of those games were against a defense like the one they'll be up against today though. The Heat have held five of their last six opponents (all 3 at home) to double-digits. While the Hornets won a high-scoring game in the finale, three of four regular season meetings finished below the 200 point mark. The Heat have seen the UNDER go 25-12 their last 37 when playing with 'revenge' and 29-13 their last 42 when attempting to avenge a home loss. I'm expecting a relatively low-scoring affair. 10*
