The Pacers are 2-9 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Charlotte and 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.
The Indiana Pacers have been a hot and cold team all season long and things likely won’t get better with Sabonis sidelined with an injury. The Charlotte Hornets are playing losing basketball lately, but they’re a young team that’s going to go through growing pains. The Hornets are still a talented bunch capable of grinding out wins in spots like this one. The Pacers haven’t been great with their best player, I’m expecting them to take a step back without him.
