From the early going, we have seen a significant lean on the Heat reflected 90% of the cash coming in on Miami. Despite this, the line has not trended upward or downward. On the Money Line, the Hornets come in as a +165 road dog. On the contrary, the Heat are now priced as a -175 home favorite. The Over/Under has remained idle since the open of the market. This can be chalked up to 100% of the cash being on the Over with 100% of the tickets are the Under.

Charlotte Hornets at Miami Heat Prediction 1/27/18
Very simply, a recency bias is the narrative fueling this market. The Heat have been a cash cow against the Hornets in particular as of late and many takers are enamored with Miami after what they pulled off against this very club in Charlotte, a week ago. However, a lot has happened since then. Miami has since undergone a correction in markets as they were bound to be overvalued after successful covers against Houston, Charlotte, and Milwaukee where they went 2-1 SU over that span. Since then, Miami has failed to cover in the last two spots where they were favored. Moreover, this is the biggest number that Miami is asked to spot against Charlotte this season. All the ingredients suggest that the Heat are in line for an overlay. Whilst we will play this one conservative, it would not be a shocker by any means if the Hornets were to pull an upset outright. Take the points.
