The Indiana Pacers look like a solid home favorite when they host the Charlotte Hornets Monday night.

Charlotte took a 95-91 loss at Miami its last time out, despite holding a 15-point lead at one point. The Hornets are just 6-14 SU (7-9-4 ATS) away from home this season and the home team took each of the four meetings in this series last season, with Indiana winning its two home games by an average of 18.5 points.

The Pacers trailed by as much as 21 points late in the first half against Orlando on Saturday but battled back to record a 114-112 victory and make it three wins in their last four games. "This team just continues to fight. Even when they are down, they dig down deeper," Pacers coach Nate McMillan said. "They find a way to fight back. We came out soft. The challenge is get our head heads up and go out and be us. We said we can win this game. They continued to work themselves back in the game."

The Pacers are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 Monday games and I expect a strong start to the the week once again for Indiana.

My selection is an 8* play on Indiana Pacers.
