DraftKings. Obi Toppin continues his strong play for the Pacers, clearing this line in seven of his last eleven games. I’m willing to bet this before we get injury clarity on both Myles Turner and Bennedict Mathurin, as there are still plenty of paths for Toppin to see minutes tonight. The most obvious of which is gamescript, as the Pacers come into this game as 15.5-point favorites against the floundering Hornets.

Do we have the nerve to back some of these floundering NBA dogs like Charlotte? Too early, perhaps, for some of tonight's big NBA favorites like the Pacers to put it on cruise control, Indiana still motivated to secure the fourth seed in the East and home-court edge in a likely first-round matchup vs. the Pistons or Bucks. The Pacers' KO power must be acknowledged, after a recent thumped over the T-wolves on March 24 and the 162-point explosion vs. the Wiz. Off the bench, watch Obi Toppin, off of six straight double-digit efforts and not far removed from a 34-point showcase in the March 17 clash vs. the T-wolves. Charlotte firepower is limited, barely scoring 101 ppg the last five. Play Pacers.
