Charlotte Bobcats Vs Indiana Pacers Live Preview

The Charlotte Bobcats are brimming with confidence after extending their winning streak on the road against one of the league’s best teams. The Bobcats (34-31) matched the team record for consecutive victories with an impressive 96-89 win in Orlando on Sunday.

Jackson is also trying to keep the Bobcats focused on the Pacers (21-45), and not get distracted with a schedule that features a home game against Oklahoma City on Wednesday followed by contests in Atlanta on Friday and Miami on Saturday.

Jackson had 22 points on 7 of 23 shooting against the Pacers in November, while Wallace, who is listed as day-to-day, had 29 points and 12 rebounds. The two were overshadowed by Indiana’s Troy Murphy(notes), who finished with 26 points on 5 of 7 shooting from 3-point range and 15 boards.


While the Pacers got the better of the Bobcats three months ago, they haven’t had much luck lately.

Indiana lost to Milwaukee 89-77 on Sunday, it sixth defeat in seven games and 13th in 16. The Pacers cut a 12-point deficit to two with 30 seconds to play but couldn’t get any closer.

Danny Granger(notes) had a game-high 29 points Sunday, the third time in five games he reached that mark. In his only game against the Bobcats this season on Nov. 22, Granger scored 18 in a 104-88 loss.
