Hornets vs. Pacers: Prediction, point spread, odds, over/under, betting picks

The Charlotte Hornets play the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, money line odds and over-under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet on Tipico Sportsbook.

The game tips off at 7 p.m. ET and can be seen on Bally Sports SE.

After a rocky preseason with blowout losses and an abundance of injuries, the Hornets are back healthy right in time for the season opener, which included Gordon Hayward’s battle with COVID-19.

Pacers at Hornets notable injuries:

Terry Rozier and Miles Bridges are both listed as probable for Wednesday’s opener. Rozier missed the last three games of the preseason with a sprained ankle. Bridges left the final preseason game in the first half after tweaking his knee.

The Pacers have a lengthy injury report with Caris LeVert and T.J. Warren both out for the foreseeable future. Malcolm Brogdon is listed as probable while Jeremy Lamb and Justin Holiday are both listed as questionable.

The lines, courtesy of Tipico Sportsbook

  • Point spread: Hornets -1.5
  • Money line: Hornets -130 / Pacers +105
  • Over-under: 222.5

Advice and prediction

In a rematch of last season’s play-in game, which the Pacers won, look for the Hornets to cover the spread and take the win as Indiana is without key players in T.J. Warren and Caris LeVert, which should lead to a slight under. 

Prediction: Hornets 112, Pacers 106
