Indiana Pacers
For a long time Detroit has been playing without Jeremy Grant. The absence of a leader affects the performance of the “pistons”. They got it worse. Quite often Casey’s wards do not score even 100 points per match. By the way, the “pistons” are no longer counting on this player. They began negotiations for his departure from the team. The main contender for Jeremy is the Phoenix. In the upcoming meeting Grant will again not help his team. Besides him the Pistons will not be able to count on Tray Liles, Corey Joseph and Josh Jackson. But this does not mean that Detroit has no chance. In the last match Hamida Diallo and Saddiq Bay surprised. This tandem scored 51 points. But this did not help the “pistons” much. They lost 109:144 to San Antonio.
Charlotte Hornets
The Hornets woke up and started gaining. There are only two players left in the infirmary, therefore, more is expected from the team, which, in principle, is what James Borrego is working on. Charlotte won two consecutive victories as they dealt with Denver (115:107) and left no chance for Houston (123:99). Kelly Ubre and Terry Rosier made up the main striking force as they scored 45 points for two. The Hornets act in an attacking manner, so there is something to see in the matches with the club’s participation. Ahead is a difficult trip to Indianapolis, however, one gets the impression that Michael Jordan’s team is ready to fight.
Prediction
Charlotte have a good move and are doing everything they can to reclaim their place in the playoffs. The Hornets are having a hard time winning at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse, so you'll have to show your best basketball to get the results you want. Indiana is doing great at home with 11 home wins since the start of the season. The Pacers will not be able to help only TJ Warren, who is recovering from the trauma, so we will see the main team on the floor. In our opinion, the hosts will put the rival in their place. Our prediction is the victory of the Indiana Pacers including overtime for 1.75 odds in BC 1xBet. It is unlikely that we will see an open game, since the "pacers" practice basketball with a clear emphasis on defense. The hosts are able to stop the opponent's attack, so we expect the confrontation to end on the bottom. Second bet is for the total under 233 points for 1.53.
