Charlotte Hornets vs Miami Heat Prediction & Picks, October 24, 2026

Betting on Grayson Allen to score under 13.5 points looks like a solid choice. The Charlotte Hornets have a habit of letting teams shoot a lot of three-pointers, and Miami is no exception. However, their defense has been pretty good at limiting the total points scored by individual players lately. The matchup is tough since both teams are close in how they defend. The Hornets give up quite a few rebounds, which might lead to extra chances for the Heat, but they also force turnovers that can disrupt Miami's rhythm. So, while there's a good chance for Allen to stay under that points line, it's worth noting that the close defenses could mean tighter scoring overall.

Charlotte Hornets vs Miami Heat: Brandon Miller Under 26.5 Pts + Rebs (+120)

At the Spectrum Center, the Charlotte Hornets face the Miami Heat, and it's a matchup that could lead to some lower numbers for Brandon Miller. He has been scoring and rebounding well at home, but the Heat are known for their solid defense and forcing turnovers, which can limit a player's opportunities. With Miller averaging fewer points and rebounds away from home, it might be tough for him to hit over 26.5 combined. The Hornets also allow a lot of three-point attempts, but that doesn't always translate into high scoring for players like Miller, especially against a team like Miami that plays tough. The most concrete risk here is that both teams are closely matched, which could mean fewer chances for Miller to rack up the necessary points and rebounds.

Charlotte Hornets vs Miami Heat: Davion Mitchell Over 9.5 Points (-123)

Davion Mitchell has been a solid performer lately, averaging 19.8 combined points, rebounds, and assists both at home and away. With the Charlotte Hornets playing at Spectrum Center, there's a good chance he'll find ways to score against the Miami Heat. The Heat have been letting teams shoot a lot of threes, which could set Mitchell up for some nice opportunities. It's also worth noting that the game could be competitive, which means more playing time for Mitchell. The most concrete risk here is that the two teams are closely matched, and if the game turns into a blowout, he might not get enough minutes. Still, I like this bet for him to score over 9.5 points.
