Chicago Bulls vs Indiana Pacers Prediction
The Chicago Bulls are on the end of a back-to-back, but they’re coming off a couple of nice wins and all of a sudden may not be as bad as we thought with wins in 5 of their last 9 games. The Indiana Pacers are one of the bigger disappointments in the league, and they’re not any better for bettors, with a 7-15-1 ATS record. The Pacers are 0-9-1 ATS in their last 10 games. Not exactly the team I want to lay chalk with on the road. The Bulls have also won 3 of the last 4 games against the Pacers. Give me the points with the Bulls.
