The Pacers' play this season is still uncertain, but Rick Carlisle's team started to rack up wins as the first half of the regular season drew to a close. So, Indiana has three wins in a row before the game against Chicago. They beat Miami (128:115) away, Phoenix (126:108) at home, and Brooklyn (113:99) in New York.

In their last 13 games, Indiana has managed 10 victories, which has helped them move closer to the playoff zone. They're currently seventh in the Eastern Conference, just 0.5 wins behind the top six. It's also worth mentioning that Indiana is already in the top 10 for offense, with an average of 115.2 points scored per game. But the team from Indianapolis still concedes more, with 116.1 points per game.

The Bulls are in a similar position to the Pacers, as Billy Donovan's team is better at attacking than defending. Only Washington concedes more than Chicago. The Bulls are fifth in the league for offense, averaging 117.8 points per game. Only Denver, Boston, Memphis, and Cleveland are better than the unqualified contenders.

Chicago played the previous two games at home and won both times. First, they beat one of the East leaders, New York (139:126), then they did well against tough San Antonio (114:110). The Bulls have won 17 out of 36 games since the start of the championship and are currently tenth in the Eastern Conference.

Chicago has won five out of seven previous road games in Indianapolis and will obviously claim victory in the upcoming game. Indiana has had a great series so far, with three victories in a row and ten wins in the last 13 games, but the Bulls have won four of the last four games. We can bet on Chicago, who seem to be underestimated, as well as the total over, because both teams in this championship are better at attack. And let's not forget TU of fouls.
