Indiana Pacers vs. Charlotte Hornets Live Stream: Watch Online Streaming NBA Preseason Game

The Indiana Pacers and Charlotte Hornets are playing live on the NBA preseason schedule on Thursday and the game is at the Time Warner Cable Arena starting up past 7 pm ET and the matchup has Indy looking to get back on track as the exhibition season comes to a close and these two east teams are both looking to return to the playoffs this year.

Indy comes back after losing Paul George and that has changed the expectations for the team this year and now they are coming in against the Hornets before a matchup with the Sixers to start the season. The team last played against the Timberwolves and lost that game and now they are playing in Charlotte and they will see old teammate Lance Stephenson after he signed with the team in the offseason.

Losing George to his injury changes everything with the Pacers and this is almost worse for them than the Bulls with Derrick Rose, as they do not have as deep of a team as the Bulls did. The Hornets come into the game after a loss against the Hawks in overtime and that leads into the game against the Pacers. Charlotte then will have the Bucks and that starts the season in a week. The Hornets made the playoffs as the Bobcats last season, but they still never got their first franchise playoff win.

The Pacers open the season with home games against the Sixers and the Grizzlies and then the team has three of four on the road. The team plays the Hawks and then the Bucks before matchups with the Wizards and Celtics and then they have the Jazz and Miami Heat on the road. After playing Miami the Pacers then play Denver and after that is the first matchup with the Bulls and that will be big, as the Bulls, Pacers and Cavaliers all will be battling in the central division.
