The Charlotte Hornets (41-36) host the Indiana Pacers (18-58) on Friday at Spectrum Center, tipping at 7 PM ET on FanDuel Sports Network Indiana and FanDuel Sports Network Southeast, with Charlotte entering on zero rest after beating Phoenix the night before. The Hornets opened as 15.5-point home favorites, a number that frames this as a late-season mismatch between a team fighting for a playoff spot and one running a full lottery play. The total sits at 235.5, reflecting the pace Indiana plays at regardless of who is healthy. Indiana's injury list runs deep, but the Pacers have covered seven straight spreads and knocked off a pair of playoff teams in the last week. Moussa Diabate is questionable for Charlotte with a left ankle issue, while LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, and Kon Knueppel are all confirmed active.
