After a string of de facto must-win games, the Hornets meet the Pacers in the first play-in game with the loser’s season coming to a close, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
In dropping its final five games of the regular season, the Hornets went from potentially moving up to the seventh seed to falling all the way to the tenth seed by Sunday afternoon. The positive news for Charlotte is they will play a Pacers side they won the season series against, including the one road game in Indianapolis, the location of Tuesday’s contest.
The Hornets will be without Gordon Hayward (right foot sprain) and Cody Martin (left ankle sprain). Indiana’s injury reports lists Malcolm Brogdon (sore right hamstring), Aaron Holiday (right toe sprain), Domantas Sabonis (bruised left quad) and Edmond Sumner (left knee contusion) all as questionable while Jeremy Lamb (sore left knee), Myles Turner (partial plantar plate tear) and T.J. Warren (left foot stress fracture) are out.
Here’s when you should tune in to see the game:
