Charlotte Hornets vs Indiana Pacers Prediction 11/19/2025 Today’s NBA Picks

The Charlotte Hornets pay a visit to the Indiana Pacers at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Wednesday night. Here’s a Charlotte Hornets vs Indiana Pacers Prediction. This article will include a Charlotte Hornets vs Indiana Pacers Pick.

Charlotte Hornets Betting Preview 

The Charlotte Hornets have been in a slump as they’ve lost nine of their last 11 games overall and they will be hoping to arrest a three-game skid after getting beaten by the Raptors in a 110-108 road defeat on Monday. Kon Knueppel had a great game as he led the team with 24 points on nine of 16 shooting, Miles Bridges added 22 points with eight rebounds while LaMelo Ball returned to the lineup to tally 20 points with eight assists.

As a team, the Hornets shot just 43 percent from the field and 10 of 40 from the 3-point line which aren’t impressive numbers, but they made their free throws all game and had the lead before they went scoreless in the final 1:40.

Indiana Pacers Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers have been off to a nightmare of a start as they’ve lost 13 of their first 14 games. They will be hoping to put an end to an eight-game losing streak after getting routed by the Pistons in a 127-112 road defeat on Monday. Pascal Siakam led the team with 29 points on eight of 17 shooting, Bennedict Mathurin added 25 points on seven of 16 shooting while Isaiah Jackson chipped in with 16 points and 10 rebounds.

As a team, the Pacers shot just 42 percent from the field and nine of 31 from the 3-point line as they struggled to contain the Pistons from the start and trailed by 16 points at halftime. Things only got worse in the third quarter where the Pacers fell behind by as many as 24 points before they finished with a flurry to keep the final scores somewhat respectable.

Charlotte Hornets vs Indiana Pacers Prediction

The Hornets are still missing Grant Williams, Brandon Miller and Tre Mann, while the Pacers have ruled out Tyrese Haliburton, Obi Toppin, Aaron Nesmith and Quenton Jackson. Two of the coldest teams in the league collde as the slumping Hornets visit the toothless Pacers. The Hornets were unable to get the job done in their last outing despite a big game from Knueppel and the return of LaMelo Ball, while the Pacers got run over by a depleted Pistons team missing their best player. You couldn’t back either side with any confidence these days, but I am leaning towards the Hornets to get the job done on the road behind a big game from Ball or Knueppel.
