Preview: The Hornets take on the hot Miami Heat in an early afternoon showdown

When: 1:00 pm EST

Where: Spectrum Center; Charlotte, North Carolina

How to watch: Bally Sports Southeast, NBATV

The Hornets have an early 1:00 tipoff today against a well-rounded and very tough Miami Heat team. Charlotte has won three of their last five games while have been on a heater lately (pun intended) after having won eight of their last 10.

Miami’s starting five is full of guys who know their roles and perform them well. Veteran point guard Kyle Lowry has lost a step but is still smart and effective.
