LaMelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets host Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat for the second time this season on Wednesday.
The Charlotte Hornets (6-11) have officially unleashed the duo of LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller on the rest of the league. Over the past nine games with Ball and Miller on the court the duo is combining to score 56.5 points per game. Ball especially has shown the elite level scoring ability he has with five 30-plus point games and 94 total points in his last two games. This duo is making a case as the best young scoring tandem in the league this season and going forward. That will be tested against the Miami Heat (7-7) in the second game of the season between the divisional rivals on Wednesday.

In the first game between the teams Miami came away with the 114-106 win. Ball showed early he was going to be a scoring force this season with 27 points, eight rebounds and seven assists, getting to the line eight times in the loss. Miller was not in the lineup the first time Charlotte and Miami played.
The scoring explosion has not led to a lot of wins for Charlotte, but nonetheless has been as impressive as anything early in the season. If Ball and Miller continue this scoring explosion against Miami it could be the key to Charlotte getting back in the win column after back-to-back losses.
Jimmy Butler paced Miami in the early season win with 26 points, eight rebounds and eight assists on 11-of-17 shooting from the free throw line. Tyler Herro added 22 points, five assists and five rebounds in the win.
