Pacers vs Hornets 03.Apr
Two teams with a similar winning record and in a similar situation, which can only be called as must win. With both teams 2 wins away from the 8<sup>th</sup> seed, the loser tonight can start making plans for the off-season that will be starting in April, while winner still has some hopes to extend the season. So intensity of this game will be skyhigh and both teams are ready to leave everything on court. In a situations like this the stats and previous meetings (2-1 for IND this season with all games staying close) can be thrown out of the window – all that matters is a current form and few lucky breaks in the game.
Indiana has lost 9 of its last 11 games and have looked either bad or mediocre at best. Much the same applies for the Hornets although they managed to perform well in last game beating the Pistons by 24 points. So the Hornets will enter this game at least feeling good about themselves, while the Pacers come to play after losing last 2 games and probably feeling like they have thrown away most of their chances over the past couple of weeks.
This game probably stays close all the way through. Indiana will have an home court advantage, but the Hornets have been playing slightly better recently. Thus we see this game being with equal chances, which makes the Hornets moneyline as a value. Take Hornets to win @2.86 from Pinnacle with 2/5 units.
