This is a 10* TOTAL BOOKIEKILLER On the UNDER Hornets/Pacers.

On most nights these clubs make defense an after-thought to their wide-open offensive style, but I expect a more defensive affair here finally on Sunday.

Charlotte is just 6-15 on the road, and after a rare 138-109 win at Milwaukee as a ten-point underdog, I'm expecting predictable slip back into mediocrity here. Despite that offensive explosion, the Hornets still oly average 112 PPG, which ranks 23rd.

The Pacers are 14-7 at home after beating Portland 108-99 last time out. Indiana has gone 5-1 SU and 6-0 ATS over its lsat six now. During that stretch, it's seen the "over" go 5-1, so the clamp-down defensive win over the Pacers is a sign of things to come here as well in my opinion.

I think this Over/Under line is now a bit too high. This can still be a higher-scoring game, and stay UNDER this sky-high number, and that's exactly what I'm expecting.

The play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
