The Charlotte Hornets will welcome the spiraling Indiana Pacers when they take to the court next in the NBA. They enter this match sitting in 12th place in the East, seven games ahead of the Pacers, who are at the bottom of the conference. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
The Hornets are on the second night of a back-to-back and are seeking to return to winning ways. Coming off the high of a shock blowout win away to the Thunder, Charles Lee’s men were pegged back at home by the Raptors.
They saw a two-match winning run snapped as they lost a close one, 97-96. The Hornets have listed Brandon Miller, Mason Plumlee, and Ryan Kalkbrenner as out for this match.
The Pacers defeated the Hornets in their first meeting back in November. They will give anything to win this match, as they arrive with the longest current active losing streak.
Rick Carlisle’s men have lost an incredible 13 straight matches. Another loss and they will tie the longest losing run so far this season. The Pacers are coming off a 120-116 setback at home to the Cavaliers.
Almost halfway through the season, Indiana has lost a league-leading 31 games and managed to win just six times. Ben Mathurin, Isaiah Jackson, and Obi Toppin are still unavailable through injury, and so too is long-term absentee Tyrese Haliburton.
