Chicago isn't playing much defense to start the season, 17th in points surrendered, 23rd at defending beyond the arc (38.8%), and dead last in field goal shooting allowed (51.2%). The Bulls come off a 118-102 loss to Detroit as a favorite allowing 52.3% shooting. They're 21-8 OVER the total on the road off a loss by 15 points or more as chalk. Indiana is running and gunning, leading the NBA in scoring with 134 points per game. They're also third in field goal shooting (50.7%) and No. 1 from 3-point land (43.2%). The Pacers are on a 51-32 run OVER the total at home, including 30-16 OVER at home after playing a game that went OVER. These teams played a 125-122 game when they last met and this looks like another offensive show. Take Chicago/Indiana OVER the total.
