Chicago Bulls Betting Preview 

The Chicago Bulls have been in a slump as they’ve lost eight of their last 11 games overall and they will be hoping to snap a two-game skid after getting beaten by the lowly Hornets in a 123-116 road defeat last night. Josh Giddey led the team with 25 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists on eight of 16 shooting, Coby White added 25 points and four assists, Tre Jones contributed 16 points off the bench while Nikola Vucevic chipped in with 13 points and 14 rebounds.

As a team, the Bulls shot 47 percent from the field and eight of 36 from the 3-point line as they found themselves in a real battle with the Hornets. They had to work just to take a narrow lead at the end of the third quarter, but their hard work went undone in the fourth quarter where the Hornets opened with a 12-4 run to start to pull away. 

Indiana Pacers Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers have endured a nightmare start to the season as they had lost 16 of their first 18 games before they were able to blow past the lowly Wizards in a 119-86 home win last night. Pascal Siakam led the team with 24 points and 11 rebounds on 11 of 20 shooting, Bennedict Mathurin added 20 points on eight of 16 shooting, while TJ McConnell tallied 14 points with eight assists on seven of nine shooting off the bench.

As a team, the Pacers shot 52 percent from the field and 13 of 34 from the 3-point line as they jumped all over the Wizards from the start to take a 12-point lead into halftime. Before they dominated the second half by 55-34 to make it a complete blowout and earn their biggest win so far this season.

Chicago Bulls vs Indiana Pacers Prediction

The Bulls are still missing Isaac Okoro, Dalen Terry and Zach Collins, while the Pacers are without Tyrese Haliburton, Andrew Nembhard, Johnny Furphy and Quenton Jackson. The Bulls will be very disappointed with their last performance last night as they lost to a struggling Hornets team. However, they have a chance to bounce back against a depleted Pacers squad who were absolutely ice-cold before they took down the lowly Wizards last night. The line would be totally different if the Pacers were healthy, but the Bulls have all their key players in this matchup, and I think that will be enough to cover this modest line.
