NBA Picks, Preview & Predictions for Wednesday, Oct 28th

Miami Heat vs Atlanta Hawks

Start Time – 7:00 PM EST

How much longer before the Miami Heat (and their fans) start to panic? Or is it already happening – I’m not really plugged into the “Heat Culture”? Starting the Giannis Antetokounmpo era 0-4 is far from ideal.

And if I have my way, it’ll be 0-5 after tomorrow night. Despite only starting 2-2, the Atlanta Hawks are the top-rated team in the Eastern Conference based on advanced stats. I like the Hawks to cover tomorrow.

Best Bet: Atlanta -3.5 (-110)

Charlotte Hornets vs Detroit Pistons

Start Time – 7:00 PM EST

The Detroit Pistons took it on the chin in the home of the defending NBA champions Tuesday night, losing to the New York Knicks by 14 points. They get a step down in competition tomorrow night as they head home to host the Charlotte Hornets.

The Hornets are off to a 3-1 start despite missing Kon Knueppel and Coby White. I see them taking loss #2 tomorrow night, as I have the Pistons winning and covering the spread at home.

Best Bet: Detroit -7.5 (-102)

2026/7 Overall Record: 5-11 (31%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): -($650.54)
Return on Investment: -41%
