T.M. Selection: Indiana Pacers.

I like the Indiana Pacers to cover the spread against the Charlotte Hornets in this game on Friday. The Pacers have lost 2 games in a row but I am expecting them to bounce back here after a very bad loss in their previous game. They just lost a game to the Detroit Pistons and that has to be rubbing the Pacers the wrong way, losing to 1 of the worst teams in the league this year. This is the last game of a 3 game stretch on the road for the Pacers and I think they are going to want to end their trip on a good note and go back home with at least 1 win from it. The Hornets have won 4 games in a row but I think that is going to come to an end in this game. This is the 1st game of a B2B for them and they are in Atlanta on Saturday taking on the Hawks. I think they might be looking ahead to that game and I think the Pacers can catch them in a good spot here. I like the Pacers to cover the spread in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 108-104 Pacers.
