The Indiana Pacers and Chicago Bulls meet Wednesday in NBA action at the United Center. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Pacers vs Bulls prediction.
Indiana Pacers
The Indiana Pacers have been in a pretty good shape as they’ve won six of their last nine games overall and they will be eager to keep it going after blowing past the Clippers in a 133-116 road win on Monday. Pascal Siakam led the team with 31 points on 12 of 20 shooting, Myles Turner added 24 points on eight of 12 shooting while Tyrese Haliburton chipped in with 21 points and nine assists. As a team, the Pacers shot 58 percent from the field and 17 of 28 from the 3-point line as they poured in 36 points in the second quarter to take the narrow lead into halftime and they just kept their foot on the gas to lead by as many as 23 points in the fourth quarter.
Chicago Bulls
Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls have been in poor form as they’ve lost six of their last nine games overall and they will be hoping to arrest a three-game skid after falling painfully short to the lowly Wizards in a 107-105 loss on Monday. DeMar DeRozan led the team in scoring with 27 points, six assists and five steals, Coby White added 22 points with five assists while Ayo Dosunmu chipped in with 12 points. As a team, the Bulls shot just 41 percent from the field and 10 of 35 from the 3-point line as they clawed their way back from an early 16-point deficit, only to see the Wizards take the game away in the fourth quarter with a pivotal 7-0 run which proved to be just too much to overcome in the end.

- The Pacers have failed to cover the spread in each of their last six games as favorites after winning as underdogs.

Pacers vs Bulls prediction
The Pacers are keeping eyes on TJ McConnell and Aaron Nesmith, who are both questionable, while the Bulls are still missing Lonzo Ball, and they have Alex Caruso listed as questionable. The Pacers come into this meeting as the team in better form, they looked great in their dominant win over the Clippers on Monday and I think they represent decent value at the short line in this spot.
