The Bulls are in turmoil. Their coach knows he is already fired and the delay is simply due to naming a replacement. How well can the players play and can he coach knowing that? This team blew a 35-point second-half lead to Sacramento last week and a team that was supposed to make the playoffs finds themselves sitting at 11-17. Indiana certainly isn't a good team, but I like them in this spot to keep things close. Indiana likes the three-ball and Chicago is just 33-56 ATS the past three seasons vs. teams that average 18+ three-point shots per game. The Pacers are 17-6 ATS over that span after allowing 110+ points in back-to-back games. Meanwhile, the Bulls are 9-21 ATS as a home favorite of 6.5 to 12 points over the past three seasons. I like the Pacers here.
