The Charlotte Hornets (41-36, 20-19 Home) will try to make it three in a row tonight when they host the Indiana Packers at the Spectrum Center Friday night. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. EST with coverage provided by NBA League Pass.
This is a game bettors may not want to jump to conclusions about. Yes, the Pacers are one of the worst teams in the NBA this season, and they’ll have several players out like Andrew Nembhard, Jarace Walker, Aaron Newsmith, and T.J. McConnell. But Indiana is coming off two massive offensive performances, 145-126 Wednesday night over the Bulls, and 135-118 over Miami on Sunday.
But surely a smoking hot team like Charlotte can handle an injured Pacers squad, right? The Hornets are coming off a decisive win over Phoenix on Wednesday, 127-107, and a 117-86 win over the Nets in Brooklyn on Tuesday. Okay, so they lost to Boston and Philadelphia before that, but those are two good teams, and we’re talking about beating the Pacers.
However, the Pacers have beaten the Hornets twice this season, but Charlotte beat Indiana the last time they met (February 26), 133-109.

Our Charlotte Hornets vs Indiana Pacers Prediction
Indiana has had a lot of trouble putting together good, solid performances on both ends of the court all season, but occasionally, fate smiles on them like it did the last two games. However, while the Hornets defense will put a damper on Indiana’s scoring, it will probably just slow them down a little. At the same time, the Hornets' offense should go off against Indiana’s lackluster “defense,” sending the final score well OVER the TOTAL.
Our Indiana vs Charlotte Pick: OVER 235.5
