What to Know
The Hornets will be in front of their home fans on Monday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-court advantage. They will take on the Indiana Pacers at 7:00 p.m. ET on Monday. Both teams come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
The Hornets came into Saturday’s matchup having lost ten straight, but that streak is now in the rearview. They walked away with a 115-106 victory over Memphis on Saturday. For those curious, yes, that was the biggest win the Hornets have managed all season.
Miles Bridges was the offensive standout of the match as he scored 25 points along with six rebounds and five assists. He didn’t help the Hornets’ cause all that much against the Bucks on Friday but the same can’t be said for this match.
Meanwhile, winning is just a little bit easier when you work as a team to rack up 14 more assists than your opponent, a fact the Pacers proved on Saturday. They enjoyed a cozy 125-111 victory over New York. The win was just what the Pacers needed coming off of a 131-109 defeat in their prior game.
The match pitted two of the league’s most dominant guards against one another in Tyrese Haliburton and Jalen Brunson. Haliburton had a solid game and dropped a double-double on 22 points and 12 assists. Meanwhile, Brunson did his best for the losing side, scoring 39 points.
Charlotte’s win ended a eight-game drought at home and bumped them up to 11-41. As for Indiana, they have been performing well recently as they’ve won three of their last four matches, which provided a nice bump to their 30-24 record this season.
This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: The Hornets haven’t given up the ball easily this season, having only averaged 13 turnovers per game. However, it’s not like the Pacers struggle in that department as they’ve been averaging only 13.1 turnovers per game. Given these competing strengths, it’ll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.

This contest will be Charlotte’s 14th straight as the underdogs (so far over this stretch they are 5-8 against the spread).

Braden Smith to play for hometown Indiana Pacers after NBA draft selection, trade
Braden Smith spent four seasons with Purdue basketball proving all the power conference programs who overlooked him missed out.
Now the former Boilermaker point guard has a chance to do the same in the NBA.
Smith, a Westfield native, is headed to the Pacers after Indiana traded for him when the Chicago Bulls selected him with the 38th pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, a source confirmed to IndyStar.
Smith is Purdue’s third draft pick in five years, joining lottery picks Jaden Ivey and Zach Edey among a group of now 11 NBA draft selections to play at Purdue under Matt Painter.
Here’s a look at Smith’s Purdue career and what he brings to the Pacers.
Before capping a career that includes two Big Ten regular season and two Big Ten Tournament championships, along with helping Purdue end a 44-year Final Four drought, Smith broke former Duke guard Bobby Hurley’s all-time NCAA assists record.
Along the way, Smith took home the 2025 Bob Cousy Award as the nation’s top point guard in a season where he also was the Big Ten Player of the Year. A two-time consensus first-team All-American, Smith finished his Purdue career eighth in career points (1,932), third in steals (249) and has the top three assist seasons in school history that helped add to his NCAA record total of 1,103.
Smith’s knock is his 5-foot-10 1/2 height measurement, but that didn’t deter him from being one of college basketball’s top players.
What Smith lacked in height, he made up for in basketball IQ. He’s lethal with a midrange jump shot and showcased an unblockable fadeaway that allowed him to shoot over lengthier defenders. He mastered manipulating defenses while playing with marquee big men the last four seasons.
His role in the NBA likely will be not require him to be the team’s primary playmaker immediately. Smith’s awareness of that fact pushed a more defensive-minded approach in preparation for the next level. At the NBA Draft Combine in May, Smith showed he’s capable of defending elite guards.
Smith is an elite competitor who never showed to shy away from the dirty work, which is something that can help him earn NBA minutes as a rookie while trying to find his footing in an unfamiliar backup role.
