The Indiana Pacers (6-31, 1-16 Away) will go for their second road win of the year tonight when they take on the Hornets (13-24, 7-11 Home) at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, NC. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST with coverage provided by the FanDuel Sports Network Indiana and NBA League Pass.
Expectations were low for the Pacers coming into the season with Tyrese Halliburton out, and they have certainly struggled mightily this season. As of their last game on Tuesday, which they lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers 120-116, their losing streak is up to 13 games (last win was December 8, 2025, vs. Sacramento, 116-105). Along the way, they’ve had a few close calls, i.e., a one-point loss to the Knicks (Dec. 18), two points to Orlando (Dec. 31), and Cleveland (Jan. 6). Charlotte isn’t having a great season, either, but they may be playing solid basketball in the new year. They’ve gone 2-2, but both losses were by a single point; one of the wins was a 124-97 beatdown of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Our Charlotte Hornets vs Indiana Pacers Prediction
I hesitate to bet the spread when two poor teams play, but the Hornets have been playing solid basketball in their last few games. It’s unclear if Indiana is capable of playing solid basketball this season. Losing streaks are meant to be broken, but don’t count on the Pacers to end their losing streak tonight.
Our Indiana vs. Charlotte Pick: Hornets -3.5
