Smart Game Analysis
Chicago Bulls has a 62% chance of winning the game
Despite Indiana holding a head-to-head advantage this season, the Bulls are the clear favorites due to their blistering recent form and the Pacers' defensive struggles.
Key Analysis
- • Indiana continues to struggle without franchise star Tyrese Haliburton, who is out for the season with an Achilles injury.
- • The Bulls have won 4 of their last 5 games, including impressive victories over the contending Celtics and Timberwolves.
- • Chicago's perimeter offense is elite right now, having made at least 17 three-pointers in five consecutive games.
- • The Pacers' defense is porous, recently surrendering 132 points to the Hawks and failing to contain opposing shooters.
- • Nikola Vucevic and Coby White present a difficult inside-out challenge for an Indiana lineup missing key rotation forward Obi Toppin.
- • To pull off an upset, the Pacers need Pascal Siakam to score 30+ points and for the team to force turnovers to disrupt Chicago's rhythm.
