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.

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.
