chicago bulls 132 vs indiana pacers 129

ANALYSIS

On Wednesday, the struggling Pacers look to break out of a slump when the Bulls come to town. This is the third of four matchups between the two squads this season. The series is split 1-1 thus far.

The Bulls came into the 2022-2023 campaign with high hopes following a playoff berth last season, but have disappointed so far, sitting 11th in the East at 26-31. Injuries to key players has made it very hard to maintain success and mount a run. One thing that has stayed constant is the domination of DaMar DeRozan. DeRozan was recently selected to his sixth all star game, including his second straight in Chicago, with averages of 25.4 points, 5.1 assists, and 4.7 rebounds a night. 

The Pacers are having yet another subpar campaign and are at risk of a third straight losing season. They enter Wednesday 12th in the East at 25-34, desperate for win after losing 13 of 15 and 5 in a row. Indiana’s lone bright spot is the emergence of all star Tyrese Haliburton. Not many predicted Haliburton would be an all star in just his fourth NBA season, but he has proved his doubters wrong putting up 20.0 points and 10.1 assists a night. 

WHY BET ON THE chicago bulls

The total has gone under in the Bulls’ last 5 games, 8 of their past 9 on the road, and 10 of 11 against Eastern Conference opponents. The Bulls are 2-7 SU as road favorites this season, as well as 2-7 ATS.

WHY BET ON THE indiana pacers

The total has gone under in 6 of Indiana’s last 8 games as well as their last 5 at home. The Pacers are 11-11 SU as home underdogs this season, but have a 14-11 record ATS.
