Terry Rozier and Miles Bridges are both listed as probable for Wednesday’s opener. Rozier missed the last three games of the preseason with a sprained ankle. Bridges left the final preseason game in the first half after tweaking his knee.

Advice and prediction
In a rematch of last season’s play-in game, which the Pacers won, look for the Hornets to cover the spread and take the win as Indiana is without key players in T.J. Warren and Caris LeVert, which should lead to a slight under.
Prediction: Hornets 112, Pacers 106
