Black Widow Indiana Pacers vs. Chicago Bulls
The Indiana Pacers are one of the most underrated teams in the league this year. At 11-11 on the season, the Pacers are outscoring opponents 99.6 to 97.4 on average. This is a team that has bought into playing defense, and their player development is unmatched in the NBA.
Chicago is 14-8 this year but their scoring averages are very similar to Indiana's as they outscore foes 100.0 to 97.4. Asking the Bulls to lay 8 points to Indiana is simply too much to ask, thus we'll side with the underdog and take the value with the Pacers tonight.
Indiana is 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 games following a S.U. loss.
The Pacers are 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 vs. NBA Central.
The Bulls are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a SU win of more than 10 points.
Chicago is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite of 5.0-10.5.
Take Indiana and the points.
