Chicago had high hopes coming into the season with Dwyane Wade returning to his hometown, but the Bulls haven't gotten on track and have lost six of their last seven games, and are looking very bad in some of them. The Bulls are playing a back-to-back after yesterday's 119-100 loss in San Antonio. Chicago erased a 20-point deficit, but was outscored 64-50 in the second half, and the Spurs shot 56.5 percent for the game. Indiana looks to snap a two-game losing streak after its 109-102 loss to Boston on Thursday when Jeff Teague led the Pacers with 31 points and Thaddeus Young finished with 15 points and 12 rebounds. The Bulls have just a .439 field goal percentage compared to .453 for the Pacers. Indiana won the last meeting 111-94 on Nov. 5th while shooting 53.5 percent from the field. Indiana is a small underdog in this matchup, but there is good value in the outright win. Play the Pacers on the moneyline.
