Bulls at Pacers picks and predictions

Prediction

Pacers 116, Bulls 109

Moneyline

PASS.

The odds are better on the Pacers (-165) spread.

Against the spread

BET PACERS -3.5 (-115).

Chicago has lost back-to-back games and failed to cover in 3 of its last 4, including 2 of its last 3 on the road. It is dealing with multiple injuries to key players and faces a Pacers team that has been getting hot recently.

Indiana is 6-4 ATS in its last 10 games, including 3-1 ATS in its last 4. It is 3-2 ATS in its last 5 home games and is coming off a massive road win over a top Thunder squad. Its ability to spread the ball and have anybody step up and score is what will separate it from Chicago Wednesday.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 229.5 (-110).

The Bulls have hit the Under in 2 straight games and 4 of their last 6. They have scored 102 or fewer points in back-to-back games and 114 or fewer in 7 of their last 10.

The Pacers have hit the Under in 8 of their last 10 games, including each of their last 3. They have scored 111 or fewer points in 2 of their last 3 games and 4 of their last 6. They have allowed 113 or fewer points in each of their last 3 games and 115 or fewer in 6 of their last 10.
