The Indiana Pacers have alternated between wins and losses in their last four NBA regular-season games. The club lost to Dallas Mavericks (105-132) and Orlando Magic (118-119) and was also more robust against Oklahoma City Thunder (113-100) and Los Angeles Clippers (122-116). Despite some progress, the Pacers remain at the bottom of the East standings. With 19 wins, Indiana is in 13th place.

The Chicago Bulls are undoubtedly one of the best teams of the current regular season. Not surprisingly, the Bulls are in the leading position in the Eastern Conference. However, in their last meeting, Chicago failed to get a positive result. On the road, the Bulls were defeated in overtime by the Toronto Raptors with a score of 120:127. Out of 51 games, Chicago has won 32.

• In the last ten games between Indiana and Chicago, the average point total has been 209.
• Indiana Pacers lost the first quarter in five of the last six games against Chicago Bulls.
• The Bulls won the first half in four of the last five games with Indiana.

Curiously enough, bookmakers are offering relatively high odds on a Chicago Bulls win. Most likely, this is due to the possible absence of Zach LaVine. It is not yet known whether one of the Bulls’ leaders will participate in the away game. Even without LaVine, the Chicago Bulls have someone on the roster who will add status and bring value to the team. Demar Derozan will be a significant threat to the Indiana defence. Even without LaVine, I think Chicago should win on the road.
