Pacers vs. Bulls Preview
The Pacers have matched up well against the Bulls this season, as evidenced by a 3-0 record with an average victory margin of 13.3 points, and I like the Pacers to sweep the season series in Chicago tonight.
Indiana is in a foul mood after a pair of close road losses to the Hawks, while the Bulls return to Chicago fat and pleased after going 2-0 on its Florida road trip with victories over the Heat and Magic. The Bulls came from 11 points down in the fourth quarter to defeat the Heat this past Saturday.
The Pacers have Bennedict Mathurin back after a four-game absence, their third-leading scorer. It would also be a nice bonus if Tyrese Haliburton could return from a hip flexor after missing the two Hawks losses, but he is currently listed as questionable.
The Bulls have their own injury woes with Nikola Vucevic, Patrick Williams and Lonzo Ball all out with injuries. I'll lay the points with Indiana.
Best Bet: Pacers -6 (-110)
Pacers vs. Bulls Prediction
Josh Giddey has been dishing the ball out at a massive clip recently, hitting double-digit dimes in 4 of his last 7 games, and he's in a good spot here tonight against the Pacers, who play at the 5th-fastest pace in the league.
With an over/under of 242.5 set for this game, there should be plenty of scoring, and given the 6-point spread, tonight's matchup should stay relatively close. So, Giddey should see his regular allotment of minutes, likely leading to a high number of assist opportunities.
Pick: Josh Giddey Over 7.5 Assists (-110)
