Hornets vs Pacers Predictions and Picks

Charlotte is currently 18th in points, 20th in points allowed, and 21st in point differential. Miles Bridges leads the team in points per game. The Hornets are dealing with some key injuries and showed some fight in their last game. Charlotte will look to be more efficient from the field and keep that free throw percentage high. The Hornets will also try to limit the turnovers and continue to get a decent amount of points off of Pacers turnovers. This team is 1-6 on the road but showing signs of ending their three-game skid.

Indiana is currently 29th in points, 27th in points allowed, and 29th in point differential. Siakam leads the team in points per game, assists, and field goal percentage. The Pacers are missing their main core from last season's NBA Finals team, and they currently have the worst record in the NBA. They have lost eight games in a row and the last six defeats have been by double digits. Siakam has had to carry the workload and isn't getting much help. They can match the Hornets on three's and free throws, but field goal percentage and turnovers will be the difference in this game.

Best Bet: Under

Both teams are desperate for a win. In the last two games, the Hornets have focused on defense more and the shooting efficiency has been decent. The Pacers haven't been in a close game in the last six games, but they might have a chance in this one because of the similarities in free throws, turnovers, and threes that they have with the Hornets.
