Bulls vs Pacers Game Preview and Analysis
Indiana has quietly owned this matchup over the last year, pulling off two outright upsets already this season, including a convincing 120-105 road win in early December. That said, Chicago enters this meeting in a much different position health-wise and roster-wise than it did in those earlier games.
The Pacers were unable to carry momentum forward after their shocking upset of Oklahoma City, falling flat in a 16-point loss in Atlanta. Bennedict Mathurin did return from a lengthy absence and provided a lift with 16 points off the bench, but Indiana has been inconsistent when asked to string together strong performances.
Chicago’s recent four-game win streak came to an end against the Lakers, but the Bulls’ offense was far from the problem in that loss. Coby White scored 23 points and Chicago generated quality looks, yet simply could not slow down Los Angeles. The key difference heading into this game is availability. When these teams met earlier, the Bulls were missing multiple rotation players, including White and Jalen Smith. This version of Chicago is far closer to full strength.
Key Injuries and Notes for CHI and IND
- CHI: Tre Jones remains out.
- IND: Jarace Walker is questionable with a bruised foot.

Chicago’s improved health and home-court edge give the Bulls a strong chance to reverse recent trends in this matchup.
