The Miami Heat will host the Charlotte Hornets at FTX Arena on Friday evening.

The Heat (3-1) are undefeated at home and own a 2-0 record in the recently-renamed FTX Arena, so they should be confident for this game. They're coming off a big 106-93 road win over the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday, a game in which Bam Adebayo led the way for the Heat with 24 points, adding nine rebounds. Jimmy Butler generated a 17-point, 14-rebound double-double that also included seven assists, four steals and one block. P.J. Tucker furnished 15 points, seven boards and two assists. Dewayne Dedmon and Tyler Herro posted 14 points apiece while pulling down nine and eight rebounds, respectively. The Heat have won two games in a row.

The Hornets (4-1) are 3-0 on the road this season and have been one of the biggest surprises of the season thus far, as they've won four of their five contests while playing dominant basketball on some stretches. They're coming off a 120-111 win over the Orlando Magic the last time out. Miles Bridges carried the Hornets offensively in this one since he ended with 31 points and six rebounds, while Gordon Hayward had an impressive performance of 24 points, five rebounds, five assists, two steals and a block. Mason Plumlee had a double-double of 14 points and 10 rebounds, while neither LaMelo Ball (seven points, 3-14 FG) nor Kelly Oubre Jr. (four points, 1-7 FG) managed to deliver good performances. Jalen McDaniels had 16 points off the bench, and Caleb Martin mustered 12 points. In fact, Charlotte's lone defeat came on overtime against the Celtics and it was at home.
