The Pacers’ unlucky streak has dragged on too long. It’s time for the pacers to get out of their crisis. The Bulls can’t boast a good game either, so we can’t rule out a win for the home team. However, I think, Chicago is the team that will win.
The Pacers have scored 112 points or less in 4 of their last 5 games. The Pacers seem to be in a real crisis right now, so we doubt this meeting will be a high-scoring one. In October, the teams scored 233 points in a head-to-head encounter. We expect that scenario to repeat.
The Indiana Pacers can’t win for the seventh game in a row. The pacers lost on the road to the Phoenix Suns (107-112). We note the play of Bennedict Mathurin on the roster. He scored 23 points and 5 rebounds against the Suns.
The team’s black streak has lasted the better part of a month. The Pacers also lost to the Denver Nuggets (111:134), Oklahoma City Thunder (106:126), Milwaukee Bucks (119:132), Memphis Grizzlies (112:130), Atlanta Hawks (111:113) and New York Knicks (113:119).
The last time, Rick Carlisle’s team won was on January 9. It was in the game against the Charlotte Hornets (116:111).
The Indiana Pacers dropped one spot to ninth in the Eastern Conference. In 48 games, the team had 23 wins and 25 losses.
The Chicago Bulls are doing better. The team has improved its position in the standings. Three straight wins lifted the Bulls to 10th place in their conference. The team is now next to Indiana in the standings. This season, the Bulls have won 22 times and suffered 24 fiascos.
To the winning streak. The Chicago Bulls defeated the Golden State Warriors (132-118), Detroit Pistons (126-108) and Atlanta Hawks (111-100). DeMar DeRozan made a successful comeback after a hip injury. The guard scored 26 points, 1 rebound and 6 assists.
The Chicago Bulls’ last three games have ended with a total of more than 233.5 points.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Indiana Pacers: T.J. McConnell – Andrew Nembhard – Buddy Hield – Aaron Nesmith – Myles Turner.
Chicago Bulls: Ayo Dosunmu – Zach LaVine – DeMar DeRozan – Patrick Williams – Nikola Vucevic.
Daniel Theis (Out), Tyrese Haliburton (Out) and Andrew Nembhard (Day-to-day) are listed as injured for the Indiana Pacers.
Javonte Green (Out), Lonzo Ball (Out) and Goran Dragic (Day-to-day) are listed as injured for the Chicago Bulls.
The fixture will be played at Gainbridge Fieldhouse (17.274) in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA.
