Teams Preview
Indiana Pacers
In their last game against the 76ers, the Pacers lost by 21 points (114-135). Andrew Nembhard led Indiana with 23 points, and Micah Potter had a career-high 23 points off the bench, Quenton Jackson had 15 points and rookie Kam Jones added a career-high 13 points.
The Pacers committed 16 turnovers and shot just 43% from the field in the blowout loss. Pascal Siakam (left wrist sprain) and Aaron Nesmith (right ankle sprain) were both unavailable, leaving the Pacers short-handed against a dominant Philadelphia side. The 76ers held a massive 82-52 edge in points in the paint.
The Pacers enter this matchup at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, with the league's worst record at 15-44. Despite their struggles, they play with energy and have capable scorers who can contribute on any given night.
At home, Indiana will look to slow the pace and rely on Pascal Siakam's veteran leadership to compete with the Hornets. If they can limit turnovers, protect the paint, and get contributions from their bench, they have the potential to be competitive.
The Pacers on average score 110.7 points per game, they shoot 44.5% from the field and are ranked 30th in the league, and 34.4% from the arc and are ranked 30th in the league. The Pacers grab 43.1 rebounds per game and are Ranked 24th in the season.
Charlotte Hornets
Charlotte Hornets won their last match against the Chicago Bulls by 32 points (131-99). Brandon Miller scored 23 points and Kon Knueppel added 21, leading Charlotte to a team record eighth straight road win.
The Hornets shot 51.6% from the field and drilled 25 of 57 three-point attempts, one shy of the team record. Charlotte outscored Chicago 42-16 in the third quarter — including a decisive 22-2 run — to put the game out of reach. LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges each added 16 points in the dominant performance.
The Hornets come into this matchup riding significant momentum with eight consecutive road victories. Their offense is firing on all cylinders, featuring deep three-point shooting and balanced scoring from multiple contributors.
On the road, Charlotte has shown they can handle pressure environments and execute down the stretch. If they maintain their shooting efficiency and defend Indiana's transition opportunities, the Hornets should be well-positioned to grab another road win.
The Hornets on average score 116.1 points per game, they shoot 45.9% from the field and are ranked 14th in the league, and 37.0% from the arc and are ranked 9th in the league. The Hornets grab 45.3 rebounds per game and are Ranked 11th in the season.

Winning Prediction
The Charlotte Hornets enter this contest as favourites to win. Their eight-game road winning streak, elite three-point shooting, and LaMelo Ball's dynamic playmaking give them a clear edge over a depleted Indiana side. If they maintain their shooting efficiency, limit turnovers, and contain the Pacers' interior scoring, Charlotte should extend their road winning run in Indianapolis.
