Chicago Bulls vs Indiana Pacers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Wednesday, 01/08/25

The Chicago Bulls have been on a fine run of form, winning 4 of their last 5 games which includes taking down teams like the Milwaukee Bucks and the New York Knicks. Tonight, they will be taking division rival in the Indiana Pacers. While the Bulls will be on the road for this matchup, it should suit them well. They are currently 1 of the 4 Eastern Conference teams that have a winning record away from home. They will be helped by the uncertain status of Tyrese Haliburton, with the Pacers star listed as questionable to play ahead of tonight’s encounter. Even if he does take to the floor, the Bulls have big guards in Josh Giddey and Lonzo Ball who would be able to match up well against him.

Zach LaVine has been in terrific form to start 2025 for the Bulls, having dropped at least 30 points in each of the first 3 games. Considering the Pacers have hardly been successful at getting stops, ranking just 21st in defensive rating over the last 10 games, LaVine should be well positioned to continue his run. On the season the Pacers are also 20th in opponent 3-point percentage. With only the Boston Celtics taking more 3-pointers per game than the Bulls, tonight’s visitors should be able to take full advantage. They average 17 made 3-pointers on the road, the best mark in the NBA. That will put them in a great position to win tonight. Getting a 6-point buffer is a nice insurance blanket.
