Indiana Pacers vs Charlotte Hornets Preview
Sun, Jan 8th 22:00 (UK time)
We have a game between two similar, young teams, but one is playing way above expectations, and the other has been very disappointing so far. Both teams are below average on defence (23rd and 24th worst defensive rating) while playing with the 4th and 5th highest pace(they run their offence through young, skilled points guards Lamelo Ball and Tyrese Haliburton), which results in a ton of points per game on average. Now, we have these teams playing one against another, and the bookies set the game total points line very high, at 240.5, which could still be a low line for how these two teams play. In the first game between these two teams this season, the Pacers won 125:113.

High-total games are usually great for betting overs, and this is not an exception. The hornets are without Kelly Oubre and Gordon Hayward, so most of the scoring and creating is on Terry Rozier and Lamelo Ball. Rozier is in great form, coming into this game after scoring 39 points against the 3rd best defence in the league, Milwaukee Bucks, while Lamelo shared 12 assists in back-to-back games.
Haliburton is also coming into this game after having 12 assists in the last two, and he had 11 assists the last time they played this Hornets team. He has a 10.2 assists average this season, and this is one of the best matchups for him since the Hornets allow the most points per game since Lamelo came back from the injury, and they also allow the 6th most assists to opposing point guards.
The final part of this bet is Pj Washington’s points, as he scored 12+ points in 8 straight games, including 24 points vs. the Pacers earlier this season. Without Oubre and Hayward, he should step up as the 3rd scoring option.
- Terry Rozier Over 19.5 Points
- PJ Washington Over 11.5 Points
- Lamelo Ball Over 6.5 Assists
- Tyrese Haliburton Over 8.5 Assists
- Game total Over 229.5 Points
