Chicago Bulls vs Indiana Pacers prediction
The Indiana Pacers are on the end of a back to back, but they’re fresh off a road win over the Thunder, which should do wonders for their confidence. The Chicago Bulls have been hit or miss all year, and their offensive effort has been a mess in their last two games. The Bulls are also 15-18 SU on the road this season and have lost 4 of their last 5 games against the Pacers. With three recent road wins against playoff teams, the Pacers could be turning up the heat as they fight for the best possible playoff seed. I’ll lay the reasonable chalk with the home team.
