NBA 2025-2026: Chicago Bulls vs Indiana Pacers Prediction

Both teams enter this game on the back of losing streaks, with the Bulls having lost their last three outings against the Nets, Magic, and Pacers. Despite these setbacks, the Bulls showcased resilience by maintaining competitive scores, particularly against the Magic where they scored 120 points. Conversely, the Pacers, while having defeated the Bulls in their recent head-to-head, have struggled defensively, conceding 135 points in their last two games against the Nuggets and Cavaliers. The Bulls' starting five boasts a solid offensive lineup, highlighted by Coby White's 24.2 points per game and Ayo Dosunmu's impressive offensive rating of 123.6. The defensive ratings, however, suggest vulnerabilities, particularly with Coby White and Matas Buzelis. The Pacers, led by Pascal Siakam's 24.0 points per game, have an offensive unit with potential but face defensive challenges, notably with Andrew Nembhard's defensive rating of 126.7. These dynamics suggest a high-scoring affair, with both teams likely to exploit each other's defensive weaknesses.
