📉 Line Movement
Line opened at Pacers -5.5 and moved to -6.5 with balanced action, no significant reverse movement indicating consensus on home favorite amid injury news.

💡 Mathematical Edge (EV)
+3.8% on Pacers spread — Implied probability of 52.4% from -110 odds undervalues the 58% simulation cover rate, bolstered by Pacers’ 6-1 ATS in recent home games and Hornets’ 3-7 road skid.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors the Pacers, aligning with sharp money and simulation metrics, making a follow-the-public approach optimal without contrarian value. The matchup projects as moderately low-scoring, with Pacers’ top-10 defense clamping Charlotte’s injury-riddled offense (averaging 102.3 PPG last 10 games) while Indiana’s efficient attack pushes just enough volume. Overall, home dominance and rest advantage (Pacers off two days, Hornets on back-to-back) solidify the edge on spread and moneyline.
