Who We Like: The Pacers downed the Hornets in Indiana earlier this week by a count of 105-96. Expect Charlotte to return the favor here as it is a 14-14 straight up home team compared with 7-15 on the road. It is difficult to beat a team twice in a week in the NBA and I don’t believe this will be any different.
