Today in the NBA, the Bobcats welcome the Heat in what should be an entertaining match at the Time Warner Cable Arena. If you plan to watch Charlotte Bobcats vs Miami Heat live, stream online, or on TV today then first check out our Charlotte vs Miami match preview.
Charlotte Bobcats vs Miami Heat
The Bobcats go into this one with a 36% winning record, and naturally as underdogs against the Miami Heat. Larry Brown will be sure to keep an eye on the Miami streak (W 5), but the key against Heat will be containing Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh. The Bobcats point differential is -4.8 this season (good for number 25 in the NBA), but not as good as the Miami Heat’s average winning margin of 9.4 in the 2010-2011 NBA season.
Playing on the road, the Heat will need to play to their strengths and their 47.6 field goal percentage per game is their strongest statistical attribute (and 2nd best in the whole league in that area). Erik Spoelstra’s team is 26-9 this season and today will hope to improve their 12-5 record away from American Airways Arena.
Charlotte have been dominating their opponents this season in the total rebounds departement, with a 3.2 total rebounds differential advantage over their opponents on average over the season. Their 6.4 blocks average per game is 2nd best in the NBA, and that will be an area that Erik Spoelstra and his coaching staff will want to balance out today if they want to dampen the Bobcats’ 8-8 home record.
