Look, the Pacers and Bulls are both having seasons they'd rather forget, but there's still a game to play. The key matchup will be how Buddy Hield's shooting impacts the Bulls' perimeter defense, which has been spotty all year. Indiana's dropped eight straight, including a brutal 136-133 overtime loss to the Pistons on March 29th where they blew a late lead. Chicago, meanwhile, just snapped a three-game skid with a surprisingly dominant 129-102 win over the Hawks, showing they can still put it together against weaker competition. I think the Bulls, even at home, are a little too inconsistent to trust fully against an Indy team that, despite the record, scraps hard. Pacers win this one 115-112.
