Indiana at Chicago

Indiana is 3-0 vs. the Bulls this season and I think they make it 4-0 here. All three games thus far have resulted in the Pacers winning by at least nine points. Indiana has plenty of motivation here, with playoff positioning in the East at stake. The Pacers are 17-13 ATS this season on the road and their defense is playing very well right now. When facing really poor teams like the Bulls (teams under .400), Indiana is 13-5 ATS this season. Chicago is 13-24 ATS this season vs. up-tempo teams like Indiana (teams attempting 88+ shots per game). The Bulls really struggle in expected close games. This season in games with a line of -3 to +3, Chicago is just 7-16 ATS. Dating back to last year, the Bulls are 4-17 ATS at home to a line in this range. In the Nate McMillan era, Indiana is 38-22 ATS after a double-digit loss as he rallies the troops. As a home underdog in Chicago, Jim Boylen is 21-39 ATS at home including 13-26 ATS as a home dog. One way to go here. Back the Pacers for a Max Play.
