Chicago Bulls at Indiana Pacers Preview & Picks

Indiana are tipped to cover as they make it four wins in a row.

Chicago are enjoying a decent run, but when it comes to the Bulls the bubble can burst at any moment and that could be against a Pacers team who have been on a roll in recent weeks.

  • Indiana Pacers are 9-3-0 ATS in their last 12 games
  • Indiana beat Chicago by 9 points when the teams met on December 6
  • The Over has hit in 5 of Indiana's previous 7 games
  • The Over cashed when the two teams last met on December 6

Head To Head

  • Chicago Bulls lead the all-time series 114-106
  • Indiana Pacers won 132-123 when the two teams last met on December 6

Chicago Bulls Form

Chicago head to Indiana on a decent run of form, having won four of their last five games and both of the last two.

The Bulls reeled off three consecutive wins before Christmas, including a 117-108 victory over the Celtics in Boston.

They lost their next three though, suffering back-to-back blowout defeats at home before heading to Atlanta for a 141-133 defeat, only to end 2024 on a positive note.

Chicago beat Milwaukee 116-111 at home, before heading out on the road to down Charlotte in overtime, 115-108.

The Bulls began 2025 with a 125-107 loss in Washington, but bounced back at home as they beat New York, 139-126, and San Antonio, 114-110.

Indiana Pacers Form

Indiana go into this matchup having won nine of their last 12 games and each of the previous three.

The Pacers reeled off five consecutive wins to go into Christmas Day in good form, but they failed to maintain that momentum.

They lost 120-114 at home to Oklahoma City, before heading out on the road to suffer a 142-105 blowout defeat to Boston.

Indiana avenged the loss to the Celtics with a 123-114 victory two nights later, and then rebounded from a 120-112 loss to Milwaukee with three straight wins.

The Pacers sandwiched a 126-108 home win over Phoenix with road victories over Miami, 128-115, and Brooklyn, 113-99.

Verdict

Chicago have won four of the last five, but the Bulls remain an untrustworty team.

Indiana are in good form and hung 132 points on Chicago on the road last month, so give us the Pacers in this one.
