Pacers-Bulls Prediction, Tips

Dustin Dopirak, IndyStar: Bulls 130-115

The Pacers have another road game against a sub-.500 team that will likely be missing key pieces. They will face a Bulls team that will be without defenseman Coby White and forward Patrick Williams and may even be without Josh Giddey in a matchup. However, the Pacers haven’t proven on this road trip that they can take advantage of undermanned teams with losses to the Raptors and Nets, and their first-half performances against both teams call into question the functionality of their once-potent offense. These are winnable games the Pacers are playing now, but at some point they have to prove they can actually win them.
