10* play on OVER Hornets/Heat.

This Eastern Conference Quarterfinals series between the Charlotte Hornets and the Miami Heat is tied at 2-2 with neither team able to claim a road victory yet. We saw plenty of scoring in the first two games of this series, and I expect another high score tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The total for tonight's game is far lower than it was in the previous two games in Miami, and both of those games went way over. History shows that 19 of the last 26 meetings in Miami have gone over the total.

2. Kemba Walker - The Charlotte guard exploded for a playoff career-high 34 points in Monday's 89-85 win and was the deciding factor scoring 11 straight Charlotte points in the last six minutes of the fourth quarter to help his team pull away.

3. X-Factor - Nicolas Batum has missed the last two games with a sprained ankle but is expected to be a game-time decision Wednesday. Great news for Charlotte.

Selection: This is a play on the Hornets@Heat (10*)
