Pacers at Hornets picks and predictions

Prediction

Pacers 124, Hornets 117

Moneyline

PASS.

Indiana (-620) should come away with the win here, but the Pacers are not worth the risk of betting on as such heavy favorites. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN HORNETS +11 (-110).

Charlotte, despite being a terrible ATS team, has covered the spread in 3 of its last 4 outings. The Hornets are also 7-3 ATS in their last 10 matchups vs. Indiana.

Indiana has been very mediocre ATS lately, being only 3-5 ATS in its last 8 overall, further giving the Hornets the ATS advantage in this matchup. This is only a lean because the Pacers have been the much better ATS team this year.

Over/Under

BET OVER 238.5 (-110).

The Over has been safer for both teams this season, being 30-24 for the Pacers and 28-24 for the Hornets. For Charlotte, the Over has hit in 3 of it last 4 games and is 7-3 in its last 10 outings. The Over has also hit in 2 of the last 3 Indiana-Charlotte matchups and is 6-4 in the last 10 meetings overall.
