The Indiana Pacers head to the Spectrum Center to face the Charlotte Hornets in the NBA on Friday. The Hornets (41-36) are eighth in the Eastern Conference standings, while the Pacers (18-58) are in 13th place. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Charlotte Hornets have been excellent in recent weeks, now 9-3 in their last 12 games and gunning a third straight victory after defeating the Phoenix Suns 127-107 at home last night.
Six Hornets players finished in double-digits against the Suns, led by Miles Bridges with 25 points. They now trail the sixth-placed 76ers by one win but have played one game more.
Charlotte are 20-19 at home. They have lost two of their three games against this opponent this season, but their win was in the most recent encounter in February. P.J. Hall is out.
Meanwhile, it may be too little too late, but the Indiana Pacers have found some rhythm lately, winning three of their last five games following a 145-126 victory over the Bulls in midweek.
The Pacers scored as many as 83 points in the first half, and the result was never in doubt from that point on. Pascal Siakam continued his good form, scoring 25 points and five assists.
Indiana have only won seven of 38 games on the road this season. Tyrese Haliburton, Ivica Zubac, Andrew Nembhard, TJ McConnell and Aaron Nesmith will not play for the visitors.

They are playing off zero days’ rest, but are at home and fit, and we feel they will produce another big performance in this one. Our Charlotte Hornets vs Indiana Pacers prediction is Charlotte Hornets -11.5.
