The Charlotte Hornets are set to face the Indiana Pacers, but will be missing center Mark Williams due to a left foot injury. Williams, who recently returned from a year-long injury layoff, has shown promise in his limited appearances this season, averaging 7.3 points and 4.3 rebounds.

With several key players already sidelined, including LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges, the Hornets are struggling, having lost nine of their last ten games. They aim to break an eight-game losing streak in tonight's matchup.
