The Indiana Pacers host the Charlotte Hornets in their next outing in the NBA, seeking to return to winning ways. They enter this match with the worst record in the Eastern Conference and are more than 10 games behind their visitors in 10th. Read on to find our prediction.
The Pacers haven’t won since returning from All-Star weekend and have lost four consecutive games. Rick Carlisle’s men, who have compiled a 15-44 record, have allowed at least 130 points in their last three outings.
The Pacers were hammered 135-114 last time out at home by the Sixers. Seven players are listed on the latest injury report for the hosts, with five ruled out. Andrew Nembhard is dealing with a back problem and is questionable.
The Hornets seem to have regained their form after a stuttering run that ended a franchise record nine-game winning streak. Charles Lee’s men, who are in their final match of a three-game road trip, have won in Washington and Chicago.
They defeated the Wizards 129-112 in the first game and then blew out the Bulls 131-99. The game against the Bulls saw new recruit Coby White make his debut for the team.
Charlotte, who are on an eight-game winning streak away from home, have improved to 28-31.
