Both teams are logging their third game in four nights here, so fatigue will definitely be a factor in the second half of this contest. The Hornets have been good defensively, which is important as it helps overshadow the fact that their offensive production has struggled.

Indiana’s concern will be whether Sabonis can take the floor for this one after leaving with a knee injury on Monday night. He’s a major factor on both ends for the Pacers.

Domantas Sabonis puts up 21.7 points plus 12.5 boards and 5.9 assists per contest


Brogdon scored a career-high 36 points in the win Monday night and is flourishing without Victor Oladipo in the mix.

Additionally, Caris LeVert is out after a MRI found a mass on his kidney: he underwent surgery to remove a renal cell carcinoma on January 26 and is out indefinitely. Indiana had dropped three of their previous four games before earning a win on Monday night against Toronto in their last game. The Pacers are 29th in rebounding with an average of 42.6 boards a night. I am backing the home team here with the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night.
