This is a 10* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the Indiana Pacers.

For a number of different reasons I expect the home side to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night and to pull away down the stretch for the comfortable ATS cover. Both teams are on the outside of the playoff picture looking in, but each still has a mathematical shot at reaching the promised land. If history is any precedence though, then the Pacers have to be loving their chances as they've won 11 straight in Indiana in this series. Charlotte actually sits just above the Pacers in the playoff race and can secure the head-to-head tiebreaker with the Hornets as they've taken two of three meetings, most recently a hard-fought 103-102 decision on the road on February 8th. Indiana is actually 16-3 in the last 19 in the series, holding Charlotte to an average of just 88.6 points during an 11-game home winning streak and will be extra anxious to return to form after dropping nine of its last 11 overall. While the Hornets have won two of three, note that this is a spot in which the team has struggled in all season for bettors, just 5-7 ATS after a victory by ten points or more, also just 1-5 ATS after playing three consecutive home games. And note that this is in fact a position in which Indiana has excelled in, 10-8 ATS after a loss by ten points or more and 6-4 ATS as a home favorite in the 3.5 to 6 points range. In my opinion, this game favors the home side on a number of different levels, play on the PACERS.
