Smart Game Analysis
Chicago Bulls has a 72% chance of winning the game
The Bulls are poised to snap their slump at home against a decimated Pacers squad that has lost 13 straight road games and lacks its offensive engine.
Key Analysis
- • Indiana is missing franchise star Tyrese Haliburton, causing their offense to plummet to 29th in the league (110.6 PPG).
- • The Pacers possess the NBA's worst road record, currently riding a 13-game losing streak away from home.
- • Chicago's 9th-ranked offense (119.1 PPG) significantly outpowers an Indiana team struggling to score without its primary playmaker.
- • Nikola Vucevic has a distinct matchup advantage in the paint against a Pacers frontcourt missing Obi Toppin and Jalen Smith.
- • The Bulls have been reliable at the United Center with a 6-3 home record, contrasting sharply with Indiana's inability to win on the road.
- • Indiana must get a massive scoring performance from Pascal Siakam to compensate for the absences of Haliburton, Nesmith, and Toppin.
