Last season the Charlotte Hornets and the Indiana Pacers looked to be a pair of teams on the rise in the NBA, but off-season free agent losses, and injuries have plagued both these teams, and they have really struggled. Charlotte is off a big test and a five-game winning streak, but the streak ended as San Antonio took them down by five points, and this could easily be a letdown spot for the Hornets. Indiana is not going to get them excited as the Pacers have dropped three straight, and have failed to cover their last five. This is right in the middle of having played San Antonio, and the Hornets next one is vs. Houston, followed by Atlanta, and Miami. I just don't see them bringing any energy to this one. The Pacers the hungrier team in this one, and bring a 14-6-2 ATS mark in their last 22 with them. Play on Indiana.
