Both teams currently sit at 3-3, but they took different routes to get there. The Hornets are overachieving, winning all three of their games against subpar competition. But even with their .500 record, they still sport one of the league’s worst point differentials thanks to three blowout losses to Western Conference foes.
The Pacers came into this season with playoff expectations. Victor Oladipo is out for the foreseeable future, but they went out and signed Jeremy Lamb and Malcolm Brogdan to solidify their back court in his absence.
