Pacers vs Hornets Prediction, Tips

Dustin Dopirak, IndyStar: Pacers 128, Pelicans 115

A few days of practice at their own facility seemed to give the Pacers a chance to make a fresh start, and the brand of basketball they played Friday in Philadelphia seemed much closer to their ideal than anything they played in the loss to Charlotte had done last Sunday. It would be an exaggeration to say that all of their problems were solved, given that they were playing a Philadelphia team that lost Joel Embiid to a ruptured sinus just before halftime and didn’t have much time to coordinate its stars, but on Sunday they did Done Take on another Snakebite team that has been undermanned all year. The Pelicans will be without All-Stars Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram, defensive brute Jose Alvarde, sharpshooter Jordan Hawkins and big man Karlo Matkovic. Herb Jones, who missed the last game with the Pacers, is back, but his frequent injuries have left a talented squad posting the worst record in the Western Conference at 5-21. They have lost three straight, 12 of their last 13 and 18 of 20 since beating the Pacers on Nov. 1, with a lineup that was near full strength. The Pacers have struggled to take undermanned rosters seriously in the past, but they can’t afford to waste games as they face a brutal year-ending extension on Thursday in Phoenix. They will do enough to take care of business in this case.
