Devonte’ Graham and Terry Rozier seal the game for the Hornets in the final few minutes

Overall, the Charlotte Hornets will have everybody except Gordon Hayward and Cody Martin in this game, which is why I see them pulling out a narrow victory. Down the stretch, this game is going to be close, but Terry Rozier and Devonte’ Graham are no strangers to knocking down big shots in the fourth quarter of games.

In fact, in the final game against the Pacers, Rozier and Graham combined for 11 of the Hornets’ 30 fourth quarter points to pull away from Indiana in a 114-97 victory. All season long, Rozier and Graham have been two guards that the Hornets have looked to for production late in games and they have delivered on numerous occasions. 

Opportunities will be presented to both of these guys in the final quarter of play in this game tomorrow night and if left open on the perimeter, they can really punish the Pacers with their outside shooting abilities. 

Particularly Devonte’ Graham, who just scored 31 points against the Nuggets on May 11 and 25 points against the Knicks on May 15. When he gets going, he is virtually impossible to stop from beyond-the-arc, which is why the Hornets are going to be able to pull out a close victory in this one, sending the Indiana Pacers home empty handed and ending what has been a dreadful season for them.
