The Indiana Pacers head to Spectrum Center to take on the Charlotte Hornets Monday night, and I like the home team to win and cover the spread. The Pacers are are 1-7-1 ATS in the last nine meetings overall and 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings in Charlotte.

Indiana had failed to cover the spread through each of its four games before routing the Bulls 111-94 as a 3.5-point home favorite its last game. The Pacers are still 0-3 SU and ATS on the road this season though, allowing an average of 115.3 points in the process.

Charlotte has won four of its last five games and it's 7-2 ATS in its last nine Monday night games. The Hornets have a solid D and are holding opponents to 41.4 percent from the field - fourth best in the league. They came from behind to beat the Nets 99-95 at Brooklyn in their last game, while limiting their opponent to just 40 percent shooting on the night. Two fairly evenly matched teams, but the home court advantage is massive here and I'm firing a BIG BET on the Hornets.
