Charlotte Hornets vs Indiana Pacers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Feb 26, 2026

Brandon Miller's 33-point, 7-rebound performance carried Charlotte to a 133–109 road victory, as the Hornets' offensive firepower punched through Indiana's defense for a second straight meeting between the teams. The combined total of 242 soared 12.5 points above the market line of 229.5, marking another high-scoring affair after their November matchup also cleared 245. DAGGER leaned under on this one—and it missed.

The third quarter became the turning point: Charlotte outscored Indiana 40–36 in that frame alone, pushing the game's combined scoring to 76 points in 12 minutes and establishing the offensive tone that would carry the Hornets to victory. The first half landed at 113 combined, but the second half exploded to 129, revealing how Charlotte's depth—Kon Knueppel added 28 points with 4 rebounds, and LaMelo Ball chipped in 20 points and 8 assists—overwhelmed the Pacers. Indiana countered through Andrew Nembhard's 20 points and 7 assists, and Micah Potter's 19 points, but the supporting cast couldn't match Charlotte's scoring balance. The final quarter settled into a lower-rhythm frame at 53 combined points, yet by then the Hornets' 24-point lead was secure. Charlotte's recent form showed 113.6 points per game, but on this night Miller and the Hornets' bench elevated well beyond that baseline, while Indiana's 116.9-point average last 10 proved insufficient against a Charlotte team firing on all cylinders.
