After the Pacers finally broke out of a 4-game losing streak where they lost every game by 9 points or more, they finally found their way back to winning ways against the Bulls on Friday with an offense more in line with previous seasons, scoring 132 points in Chicago. They will now face the Hornets, Pelicans and 76ers, three rivals with losing records and where they will feel bad not winning at least two games.

Against the struggling Hornets, who are 6-17, who have lost their last 8 and are without their star LaMelo Ball due to injury and 6 other players, the Pacers will be undisputed favorites by up to 11.5 points. With the Hornets having a 1-8 record on the road this season, the logical thing to do would seem to be to bet on the Pacers' handicap, but Indiana is one of the worst teams against the spread, having failed to cover it up to 15 times this season.

A Game Total OVER seems more feasible given that Pacers games generated Game Total OVER 16 of 24 times.

Indiana Pacers - Charlotte Hornets Key Points

  1. Brandon Miller leads the Hornets with 21.7 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists

Our Indiana Pacers vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction

This is certainly the Pacers' chance to step up offensively and continue the good work they did against the Bulls on Friday. In that game, the Pacers had a multi-faceted offense where Siakam, Mathurin, Turner, Haliburton, McConell and Toppin all managed to score in double figures. Also 3 of them had 7 assists and the team managed to get 46 rebounds in Chicago. The Hornets' defense, on the other hand, is not effective; however, they are 3rd in the NBA in 3PT FG. Our prediction for Hornets vs Pacers is: Over 223.5.
