Prediction

Pacers 128, Hornets 118

Moneyline

PASS.

Indiana (-400) should come away with the win, but the Pacers are not worth the risk of betting on as such heavy favorites. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

LEAN PACERS -9.5 (-105).

Indiana has been the much better ATS team this season, going 27-20-3 while Charlotte is only 16-31. The Pacers also covered the spread in their last matchup vs. Charlotte. Given the Hornets' current skid, the Pacers are the safer bet to cover the spread here.

The Over has hit in 2 of Indiana's last 3 games and 4 of the last 6. For Charlotte, the Over has hit in back-to-back outings and is 7-3 in its last 10 games. The Over has also hit in back-to-back Charlotte-Indiana matchups and is 7-3 over the last 10 meetings.
