Jalen Green scored a team-high 17 points (and chipped in six assists and seven boards).

If there is a short list of surprising teams through the first month of this NBA season, the Indiana Pacers are certainly near the top. Widely considered lottery fodder prior to the season, the Pacers recorded their sixth win in eight games on Wednesday by dispatching the Charlotte Hornets 125-113 on the road.

As has been the case throughout their run of strong performances, the Pacers were buoyed by youthful guards Tyrese Haliburton (22 points and 11 assists) and Bennedict Mathurin (20 points off the bench) while Myles Turner (20 points, 10 rebounds) and Buddy Hield (19 points) lent support.

Houston Rockets vs Indiana Pacers Preview

Houston is the weakest team in the Western conference: the team occupies the last place, and has only three wins out of fifteen. Nevertheless, the Rockets sometimes surprise: the club was able to beat such rivals as Utah (114-108) and Dallas (101-92). When making a prediction for Houston, it is worth paying attention, the team’s defense is not so reliable this season: on average, opponents score about 116 points per match.

Indiana is in great shape: in the last eight matches, the team was able to win six victories. Thanks to such results, the Pacers are on the sixth line in the Eastern Conference standings. When making a prediction for Indiana, it is worth noting that the team has huge problems when playing defensively: on average, opponents score about 117 points per match.
