Pacers at Bulls picks and predictionsPrediction

Bulls 126, Pacers 122

PASS.

Avoid this play. Despite 3 losses to the Pacers this season, the Bulls (-194) are the better side, especially at home, but they certainly aren’t worth nearly 2 times your money here.

BET PACERS +5 (-108).

The Pacers, with Siakam, are a solid side, and he’s likely to take the court in this one. Indiana has scored at least 119 points in 5 of its last 6 games and should be able to keep this one close.

The Bulls have lost 2 of their last 3 home games, one of which was by 30 to the Toronto Raptors. Chicago has lost 3 of its last 4 games by double figures, so it likely won’t win too easily in this one.

BET OVER 246.5 (-110).

Neither side knows how to defend. The Bulls have gone Over in 4 of their last 5 games, mainly because of their defense. They have allowed at least 124 points in 5 straight games.

The Pacers have gone Over in 7 of their last 8 games and have given up more than 125 points in all but two of those. They’ve scored at least 128 points in 3 of their last 4 contests.

Keep in mind the Under has hit in all 3 meetings this season.
