Well, you can\u2019t blame them since they\u2019re fresh off a hard-fought win over San Antonio last night, 91-88. In that game, Jeremy Lin gave us a throwback of \u201cLinsanity\u201d by exploding for 29 points along with seven rebounds and two dimes. He might just be able to provide us another explosive outing as he and the rest of the Hornets take on the lowly Brooklyn Nets, who are allowing 104.8 points per game this season.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the Nets, they\u2019ve been playing like a team that can\u2019t wait to get the season done with. Brooklyn\u2019s lost eight of its previous 10 games and the chances of them winning this one is hard to imagine. But the Nets might just be able to make things competitive if Brook Lopez (20.6 PPG), Thaddeus Young (15.3 PPG) and Bojan Bogdanovic (10.9 PPG) can put together an all-around effort.<\/p>\n<p>Charlotte is 7-3 SU and ATS in its last 10 games on the road. Brooklyn, meanwhile, is 5-5 SU and 4-6 ATS in its previous 10 meetings versus the Hornets.<\/p>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>Charlotte\u00a0wins by double-digits.<\/p>\n<h2>Miami Heat vs. New Orleans Pelicans (8:00 PM ET)<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Line:<\/strong>\u00a0Miami Heat vs. New Orleans Pelicans \u2013\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/nba\" target=\"_blank\">view all NBA lines<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-100821 size-full\" title=\"Best-Games-to-Bet-on-Today-Hornets-vs-Nets-Heat-vs-Pelicans\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Dwyane-Wade.jpg\" alt=\"Best Games to Bet on Today: Hornets vs Nets &amp; Heat vs Pelicans\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Dwyane-Wade.jpg 600w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Dwyane-Wade-250x167.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Heat will be looking to garner some more momentum tonight at the expense of the New Orleans before they take on San Antonio this coming Wednesday. Miami is fresh off an entertaining victory over Cleveland last Saturday, during which the trio of Dwyane Wade, Goran Dragic and Joe Johson combined for 60 points to capture the 122-101 victory. All three should be able to find a lot of scoring opportunities since the Pelicans are yielding 106.4 points this season, which is among the highest in the NBA.<\/p>\n<p>New Orleans, meanwhile, is coming off an impressive 109-105 win over the visiting Clippers on Sunday. It was basically a team effort for the Pelicans, who had all of their starters score in double-figures. Jrue Holiday led the way for them with 22 points and dished out eight assists. But he and the rest of his teammates could be in for a tough shooting night against a Miami defense that\u2019s only allowing 97.9 points per game.<\/p>\n<p>Miami is 6-4 SU and 5-4-1 ATS in its last 10 games against the Pelicans. New Orleans, on the other hand, is 5-5 SU and ATS in its past 10 home games.<\/p>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>Miami wins it, 103-95.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/6\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a>, and don\u2019t miss to bet on these two spectacular matchups.<\/p>\n[sc:NBA620 ]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NBA takes center stage in today\u2019s Best Games To Bet On.
