Indiana Pacers vs Charlotte Hornets prediction

The Charlotte Hornets are not only racking up the losses at a ridiculous clip, but they’re 16-31 ATS on the season despite being big underdogs in most games. When the Pacers and Hornets clashed back in December, Indiana dropped 144 points on 61 percent shooting. With the way this line jumped, I’m assuming Tyrese Haliburton and others will be good to go. The Hornets are horrible and don’t cover numbers. In fact, the Hornets have failed to cover each of their last 6 games. Yeah, that’s not good, folks. I have no choice but to lay the chalk with the Pacers.
