Chicago Bulls Betting Preview

The Chicago Bulls have been in a real slump as they've lost seven of their last nine games overall, but they will be feeling better after outlasting the Raptors in a 125-115 overtime win on Friday. Coby White led the team with 24 points and four steals, Josh Giddey tallied 19 points with eight rebounds and 12 assists while Zach Collins and Kevin Huerter chipped in with 15 points each. As a team, the Bulls shot 44 percent from the field and 13 of 49 from the 3-point line as they poured in 63 points in the first half to lead by as many as 16 points. But they never put the Bulls away, and it eventually cost them in the overtime period where they managed just five points to lose by double digits. 

Indiana Pacers Betting Preview

Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers have been in decent form as they've won four of their last six games overall, but they will be hoping to bounce back after falling just short to the Heat in a 125-120 road defeat on Friday. Pascal Siakam drained eight 3-pointers to lead the team with 36 points on 13 of 21 shooting, Myles Turner added 22 points while Tyrese Haliburton chipped in with 19 points, 10 assists and four steals. As a team, the Pacers shot 53 percent from the field and a sizzling 21 of 39 from the 3-point line which was good enough to take the lead late in the third quarter. The Heat went on a pivotal 13-0 run to start to pull away.

Chicago Bulls vs Indiana Pacers Prediction

The Bulls are keeping an eye on Kevin Huerter who is questionable for this one, but they are expecting to have Lonzo Ball back in the lineup, while the Pacers are still playing without Isaiah Jackson and Bennedict Mathurin. The Pacers were on a nice run before they got stopped in their tracks in their last game. But the line just seems too high for the Bulls who looked solid in their last game. I think the Pacers get the win at home, but I don't expect it to be a blowout.
