NBA | Bulls vs Pacers
Play on: Bulls +7½ -102 at betonline
My 1* Free Play is on the Chicago Bulls (7:00 EST).
Chicago has been playing better of late. The Bulls were ravaged by injury before the season even started and never had a chance at making the playoffs, but they play with revenge here and I think they can keep this one more competitive than what this spread would suggest.
Chicago actually plays with “triple revenge” here after dropping all three previous meetings with Indiana this season. The Bulls won a triple OT thriller against Atlanta, and then fell in the second game of the home and home set most recently, while the Pacers fell 117-112 at home to Orlando on Saturday.
Note that over their last ten games the Bulls have the No. 1 scoring offense though with 120.8 PPG. Lauri Markkanen is back from injury and has been averaging 25 points and 12.5 boards during the streak.
The Pacers come in having lost three of four. Note that Domantas Sabonis, who is now an important part of he rotation with Victor Oladipo gone for the season, is also out right now with a sprained ankle for Indiana.
Indiana has been decent against the spread this year and for the most part Chicago has struggled. But that was then and this is now. While I’ll stop short in calling for the outright upset, I do definitely feel that we’re in store for a war until the end. Consider Chicago in this matchup.
Good luck…Larry
