Free Indiana Pacers vs. Charlotte Hornets NBA Prediction:
ESPN.com’s Matchup Predictor favors the Indiana Pacers 52.1 percent of the time compared to 47.9 percent toward Charlotte.
Neither that prediction nor the spread shows much confidence one way or the other. However, looking at the recent schedule helps bring into vision who has more momentum between competing sub-.500 squads.
Indy Trending the Right Direction
While the Hornets have lost four straight and seven out of their last nine overall, the Pacers seem motivated to get themselves out of the lottery and into the 2023 Play-In Tournament.
With the regular season scheduled to wrap in about three week, Indiana sits half a game outside the Chicago Bulls for 10th place out East—the final qualifying spot.
These next few games will be telling for Indiana’s fate, but entering Monday’s contest against Charlotte, the Pacers have won seven of their last 12 overall dating back to February 15, and that includes the most recent stretch of three SU wins over their last five.
Will Indiana ultimately qualify for the postseason? You’ll have to wait until Sunday, April 9 to find out. But with a win on Monday, they’ll be one step closer.
