Chicago defeated Indiana 96-95 on Nov. 16 as Derrick Rose scored 23 points and Jimmy Butler added 17 points. Both teams shot nearly 40 percent and that is the only game the Pacers have lost in their last seven contests. The Bulls have won five of their last six games, including 93-88 at Portland on Tuesday. Once again, Chicago had a lousy shooting night but it held the Trail Blazers to only 35.2 percent from the field. Butler led five players in double figures with 22 points and Rose added 17. Indiana beat Washington 123-86 on Tuesday behind Paul George's 40-point outburst and C.J. Miles contributed 32 points. Indiana has been explosive on offense lately in Frank Vogel's new up-tempo system, but the Bulls are allowing only 40.9 percent from the field. Indiana is in revenge, but this game still goes down to the wire so any points will be valuable. Take the Bulls.
