The Charlotte Hornets have been splitting their games lately--a loss is guaranteed to be followed by a win and a win is guaranteed to be followed by a loss. While that's a big step up from their play early in the season, it's nowhere near enough to get them back into the playoff picture.
They really need to start stringing together three-, four-, and five-game winning streaks with consistency.
Tonight's game against the Indiana Pacers is an opportunity to get back to winning and hopefully what motivates the Hornets to beat the lowly Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday. We'll see what happens.
As usual, you can watch tonight's game live on Fox Sports Southeast or League Pass and listen live with WFNZ 610 AM or WFNZ 102.5 FM.
Here are this evening's projected starters:
| Hornets | Position | Pacers |
| Kemba Walker | PG | Darren Collison |
| Nicolas Batum | SG | Victor Oladipo |
| Michael Kidd-Gilchrist | SF | Bojan Bogdanovic |
| Marvin Williams | PF | Thaddeus Young |
| Dwight Howard | C | Myles Turner |
Cody Zeller is out, no surprise. Michael Carter-Williams is listed as probable for tonight's game. For the Pacers, only Glenn Robinson III is out.
Tip-off's at 7:00 p.m. EST.
