Chicago Bulls - Indiana Pacers
Chicago will be played "neighborly" derby between the Bulls and Pacers. Both teams are in the last few days in winning form, so that it can expect an exciting match. Bulls are quite good at home, while Pacers come as guests with a series of three victories.
Bulls are currently on a ratio of six wins and three losses, while at home they have lost only one of the five matches played. So, in front of their fans in the "United Center" very rarely lose, although it should be noted that the Pacers this season at home have a negative effect. It is known that the last couple of seasons both this team is pretty good when the game is on the defensive in question, and their opponents do not allow a lot of points. Bulls are currently tenth in the league in this segment of the game, while the Pacers even better sing. This is perhaps an indication that this match should not be full of points, but the defense will decide the winner.The Bulls have a range of two wins, although they came against the worst 76ers and Hornets. Before that they were defeated at home by Wolves, and as we have noted, this is their only home defeat for now. Bek Hinrich recovered and slowly returns to the team, while due to injury in the field and there is still no Dunleavy. Butler is a true leader of the team, while Rose is still not "uštimao", and his average of only 12.6 points and shot under 36 percent very pitiful performance for him. Gasol is near double-double performance, while Mirotić lately game variable, and it will its impact be needed in the game against weak opponents inside the lines.
Probable lineups Bulls: Rose, Butler, McDermott, Mirotic, GasolIndiana Pacers
The Pacers have caught the momentum with three wins in a row coming into the adjacent Chicago. Victories were reached against three very tricky team (Wolves, Boston and Orlando), and generally Pacers are in the last seven games celebrated six times, which proves that in great shape. The teams are very well known, despite the fact that Indiana has undergone certain changes in its composition, but who knows where it is dangerous, and therefore another reason why we expect even match. It will be interesting to see how the Pacers stop jump Bulls (Chicago is that the fifth in the league), and that the Bulls break the granite defense of the Pacers.Much will depend on the duel George and Butler, respectively Hill and Rose, while the Pacers could be much weaker in the game in the paint, as they will against him have Gasol, Mirotic and Gibson, and it is known that I Pacers Hill and Mahinmija have tall players which is a real handicap. So they have their game based on the outside shooters, and in addition to the aforementioned Hill, for the points to be responsible and Ellis, Miles and Stuckey, and when looking at the Pacers lineup, then notices that most of the time playing with four foreign players, with George responsible for the position of the wings.
Probable lineups Indiana Hill, Ellis, Miles, George, Mahinmi
If the Bulls impose game under the basket, no matter what great shape the Pacers will be much closer to victory. But in any case difficult to be in this game will be a lot of points, because in terms of teams that your opponents are winning strong defenses.
Tip: Under 196.5 points
Stake: 4/10
Result: 96 - 95 WIN
