.
There is no value on the Pacers (-275) to win on Friday.
Against the spread
BET PACERS -6.5 (-115).
Indiana has covered the spread in 4 of its last 5 games, including back-to-back games, and in 2 of its last 3 on the road. It faces a Charlotte team that has failed to cover in 4 of its last 6 and is without Bridges, who led the team in scoring in its last game.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 235.5 (-110).
While the Pacers have one of the top offenses in the NBA, the Hornets have failed to hit the Over in each of their last 4 games and will be unable to carry their fair share to tip the total. They have scored 109 or fewer points in each of their last 4 games and in 5 of their last 6.
