| +8.0 | 219.0 | 105-96 |
- Pacers have dropped 3 of their last 4 and are in danger of losing the No. 3 spot in the East. Life without Oladipo was eventually going to catch up.
- Chicago are heading toward the lottery but are picking up their play lately with wins in 5 of their last 7.
- Bulls rank 25th defensively and the Pacers rank 2nd, however this comes across as a danger game, with the Pacers recent wins coming against sub .500’s while the Bulls have stuck close to above .500’s and beaten a few over their last 10 (Boston, Orlando and Brooklyn).
- Pacers 24th in the league in pace, Bulls 21st.
