Pacers vs. Hornets Prediction, Odds and Best NBA Prop Bets for Friday, April 3

The Charlotte Hornets turn right around and host the Indiana Pacers after a 127-107 win over the Suns last night.

That was the second straight win for Charlotte, who had lost two games in a row prior to that.

Meanwhile, the Pacers are suddenly hot with two upset wins over the Heat and Bulls. They’ve now won three of their last five games after a long losing streak.

Charlotte did just beat the Pacers 133-109 in Indiana in February, though.

The oddsmakers have the Hornets as big home favorites at the best betting sites on
Friday night.

Let’s take a look at the odds, a player prop, and my prediction for Friday night’s NBA matchup.

Pacers vs. Hornets Best NBA Prop Bets

Pacers Best NBA Prop Bet

Obi Toppin OVER 9.5 Points (-129)

Obi Toppin has put together some solid performances recently. He went OVER 9.5 points in three straight games and six of seven before a six-point game last time out.

Toppin hasn’t let one down game hold him back, though, as he’s been able to bounce back from each of his last two UNDER 9.5 points with 11 and then 15 most recently.

Pacers vs. Hornets Prediction and Pick

The Hornets have a lot more to play for, but they also have the rest disadvantage at home.

Indiana is playing some of its best basketball of the season recently. Not only have the Pacers won two straight, but they’ve covered the spread in seven straight as well.

I’ll back the Pacers to keep this a respectable score in Charlotte tonight.

Pick: Pacers +15.5 (-105)
