Betting on the Indiana Pacers
- Regular Season Record: 28-36
The Pacers were without star player Tyrese Haliburton in the recent loss to the San Antonio Spurs due to a calf injury. The situation is not considered serious, and it is expected that he will be able to play in this game against the Bulls.
Still, one player who needs to raise his level is rookie Benedict Mathurin, who for long stretches of the season has showed a stellar performance. In his last 10 games he has averages of just 13.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 44% shooting from the field and 32.3% shooting from three-point line.
Mathurin’s current moment invites betting on his Under points for this game against Chicago Bulls, as he has gone two games in a row without being able to reach the 10 points scored mark.
Betting on the Chicago Bulls
- Regular Season Record: 29-34
The Bulls have frustrated their fans all season long, as despite the talent that there is within its squad, they have been unable to show any consistency.
The situation of point guard Lonzo Ball is also of great concern for the organization, as the former Lakers player continues to be unable to recover from his lingering knee injury, which has already required two surgeries.
Betting on Zach LaVine’s Over points looks like a tempting option for this game, as he is averaging 28.1 points per game in his last 10 games played,and as the Pacers are not exactly known for their defensive performance.
JefeBet Prediction
The Pacers lead the series 2-1 against the Bulls in the current season. It is important to note that Indiana’s two wins were by six and four points, respectively.
Taking into account what was previously mentioned, in two of the three games between these teams 230 or more points were scored (and in the other 229), so at JefeBet we are leaning to believe that another high scoring game awaits and in which the Over will end up being covered
Prediction: Over.
