Indiana Pacers vs Chicago Bulls Preview

Caris LeVert had 26 points, nine assists, and three steals to help the Pacers overwhelm the San Antonio Spurs in overtime over the weekend. There were also big performances from guard duo T.J. McConnell and Aaron Holiday off the bench, combining 36 points (16-of-25 shooting), alongside 11 assists and 10 rebounds.  

However, they face the possibility of an ambitious Chicago side here without two of their best players once more.

All-Star PF Domantas Sabonis (ankle) and key starter Malcolm Brogdon (hip) are both listed as questionable for this clash, which hurts their chances of earning successive wins after three straight defeats. Can they? 

Indiana Pacers vs Chicago Bulls Betting Tips

As evidenced by ESPN's BPI, this should be a closely-contested encounter between two Eastern Conference contenders with losing records. They have given Indiana a slight edge (56.9%), an understandable stance to take when you consider that Billy Donovan's men have lost four straight away from home comforts. 

However, they were 115-107 winners against Brooklyn over the weekend, and despite Steve Nash being forced to field an understaffed Nets team, it's precisely the sort of result that could propel them forward on the run. 

They face Toronto, Atlanta, Minnesota and Memphis to finish a five-game road trip and have a winnable section of games between now and April's end.

120-112 overtime winners in the previous meeting against the Pacers (February 16) with big performances from Zach LaVine and Coby White, they've only bolstered their scoring options with All-Star centre Nikola Vucevic part of the fold now. As such, I'm backing a hard-fought away win for Chicago here.
