Both teams will look to build on their impressive wins from Friday.<\/p>\n<p>The 11-29 Hornets have taken a big step forward after a difficult offseason and a year dealing with injuries. The 22-18 Pacers, on the other hand, are one of the most amazing teams in the NBA. Indiana beat Charlotte 125-113 in November.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<p><strong>Viewing information and betting<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tip-off time: 5 PM ET<\/p>\n<p>Location: Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Indianapolis, Indiana<\/p>\n<p>Where to watch: NBA League Pass, Bally Sports Indiana\/Barry Sports+, Bally Sports Southeast<\/p>\n<p>Spread and Over\/Under: The Pacers are the favorites as they are -5.5 on the SI Sportsbook.

He&#8217;s put up better numbers this season, even though he&#8217;s only played 16 games this season.  The three-year professional has averaged 23.7 points per game and he has 8.3 assists.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<p>Meanwhile, Tyrese Haliburton is averaging 20.4 points and 10.2 assists per game. Both points he is a guard and master of ball and transitions, which can lead to high-scoring games.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<p>Buddy Hield vs Terry Rozier: Terry Rozier has had a bad year shooting balls from deep, but now he&#8217;s hot. The guard has knocked down 12 3s in his last three games, and he just dropped 39 points against the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-3\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-3\"\/>\n<p>Hield is a good shooter, but needs to try to match Rozier&#8217;s hot play. It won&#8217;t be easy, but Hield leads his NBA with his three-pointer successes, so he has a chance.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-3\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-3\"\/>\n<hr class=\"mm-horizontal-rule mm-horizontal-rule--hr4\"\/>\n<ul>\n<li>Report: Myles Turner, Indiana Pacers begin contract extension talks. <strong>click here<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Oshae Brissett is fully contractually insured and will not be waived by the Indiana Pacers prior to the expiration of the warranty. <strong><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nba\/pacers\/roster\/oshae-brissett-has-contract-become-fully-guaranteed-not-waived-by-indiana-pacers-before-deadline\" target=\"_blank\">click here<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Pacers guard Tyrese Halliburton&#8217;s Trevelyn Queen: &#8216;He&#8217;s a great leader&#8217; <strong>click here<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Pacers Center&#8217;s Isaiah Jackson focuses on the simple things that keep you engaged and effective. <strong>click here<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Follow AllPacers on Facebook<\/strong>: All Pacers SI<\/li>\n<li><strong>Follow AllPacers on Twitter<\/strong>: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SIPacers\" onclick=\"return phoenixTrackClickEvent(this, event);\" target=\"_blank\">@SIPacers<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/__i\/rss\/rd\/articles\/CBMihwFodHRwczovL3d3dy5zaS5jb20vbmJhL3BhY2Vycy9zY2hlZHVsZS9pbmRpYW5hLXBhY2Vycy1nYW1lLXByZXZpZXctcGFjZXJzLWdvLWZvci1laWdodGgtd2luLWluLXRlbi1nYW1lcy13aXRoLWNoYXJsb3R0ZS1ob3JuZXRzLWluLXRvd27SAYwBaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2kuY29tL25iYS9wYWNlcnMvLmFtcC9zY2hlZHVsZS9pbmRpYW5hLXBhY2Vycy1nYW1lLXByZXZpZXctcGFjZXJzLWdvLWZvci1laWdodGgtd2luLWluLXRlbi1nYW1lcy13aXRoLWNoYXJsb3R0ZS1ob3JuZXRzLWluLXRvd24?oc=5\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] The Indiana Pacers are nearing the halfway point of the 2022-23 season as they host the Charlotte Hornets in game 41 of the campaign<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5674,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":[],"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5673","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba","two-columns"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/maturin-hornets.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5673","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5673"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5673\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5674"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5673"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5673"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5673"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
