Prediction
The Pacers (-550) have won 4 of their last 6 games and will likely bounce back after Friday’s loss at Miami. However, they’re too expensive to bet on the ML.
PASS . Bet the spread and/or total instead.
Chicago has covered 5 straight games, as the market continues to undervalue it. The Bulls offense has come alive, having scored 117 or more points in 4 straight games, while Indiana has allowed 125 or more points in 2 of its last 3 outings. The Pacers will likely win, but they shouldn’t be laying 10.5 points against a Bulls side that has covered 5 in a row.
BET BULLS +10.5 (
-110 ).
The Bulls are on a 3-0 run to the Over, and Indiana is 16-11 O/U at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
LEAN OVER 241.5 (
-105 ).
