Either the New Orleans Hornets or Miami Heat will get a confidence boost tonight by winning this matchup of teams still seeking home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

The Hornets have split their last 12 games, with five of those six wins coming against teams that won't make the playoffs. The Heat have lost seven of 12 and none of the victories were against teams currently above .500.
 
All six of the Hornets' remaining games come against teams with winning records and four are on the road.
                           
The 4-point favored Heat have lost four straight to above-.500 teams, but they are returning from a three-game road trip with some momentum after beating Charlotte and Washington to end it.

They will be in tough versus a Hornets team that is 6-0-1 ATS in the last seven meetings with the Heat.
