Pacers News: Indiana Set to Face Extremely Shorthanded Hornets Team

The Indiana Pacers will look for their second consecutive win on Sunday when they take on the Charlotte Hornets at home.

The Pacers are in a rut, having lost four of their last five games; however, they will appear to have the health advantage on Sunday against the Hornets.

According to the Hornets X page, the team will be without seven key players, including LaMelo Ball, Mike Bridges, and Nick Richards, for their Saturday game against the Cavaliers and possibly Sunday against the Pacers.
