The Charlotte Hornets (19-56) visit the Indiana Pacers (44-31) on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

Interestingly, the Pacers lost its first two games to the Hornets this season. The first one was a 103-83 blowout, and the second loss came in a 113-109 decision. However, those games were played back in November and December 2024.

Since then, the Pacers have become a legit contender in the Eastern Conference. They're now in the Top 15 both in offensive rating and defensive rating, giving them a 12th-best net rating of +1.8. 

Most importantly, Tyrese Haliburton is finally playing like the All-Star that he was last season. In the month of March, the Pacers point guard averaged 19.8 points and 11.2 assists, including a stellar 40.8% clip from the three-point line.

Pacers starting center Myles Turner is also upgraded to a questionable status after sitting out the last game.

Meanwhile, the Hornets are playing without top scorers LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller for the rest of the season. They managed to carve a 10-106 win over the Utah Jazz in the last timeout, but they have still lost  five of their last six games. During that span, the Hornets' offensive rating dropped further to 107.0, the worst rating in the league.
