The Hornets have not scored 110 points or more in any of their last four games, while the Pacers rank seventh in points per game.Tyrese Haliburton has continued his slow start to the season after his 2023-24 breakout campaign. Though the Pacers are winning more games as of late, Haliburton is averaging just 15.8 points per game this season.
