1* free play on Indiana...

The Indiana Pacers have won back-to-back games, and four of their last five at home. They host the Charlotte Hornets tonight, and Charlotte comes in as winners of four of it's last five overall. Three of those wins came at home, and wins on the road have been few and far between for the Hornets. My money is on Indiana.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Pacers have won eight of their last 10 versus Charlotte, and five straight at home versus the Hornets. The Pacers have been a great bet versus conference rivals, going 20-7-1 ATS in their last 28 versus the Eastern Conference.

2. Home Cookin' - The Hornets are brutal on the road, with a record of 7-17. They have not been a great bet when playing good teams, going 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a home winning percentage greater than .600.

3. X-Factor - Paul George has totaled 82 points over his last three games, and he should light up an inferior opponent tonight.
