The positive for the Charlotte Hornets and the Indiana Pacers is that one of these struggling teams will walk away with a win after they meet Wednesday night in Indianapolis.
The negative? Indiana has lost four games in a row and Charlotte five.
Despite leading the NBA in scoring with an average of 127.4 points per game, the Pacers are just 13-12 and in danger of dipping to .500. They also give up an NBA-worst 127 points per game.
"You get a day off, practice, and you get to go back again and change the whole narrative," Indiana guard Bennedict Mathurin said.
