CHARLOTTE (CBSMiami/SportsDirect) – The Miami Heat have been one of the better teams in the Eastern Conference this season but are coming off a tough home loss to Washington.
The Charlotte Hornets have put themselves in the battle for the top spot in the East with seven victories in their last nine games.
Charlotte looks to enhance its position with seven more contests at home before the end of the month, starting with a visit from the Miami Heat on Wednesday.
The Hornets are 9-3 on their home court this season after Cody Zeller scored 20 points in a dominant 104-84 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Monday.
