NBA Premium Play 04/25: Chicago Bulls @ Indiana Pacers


NBA - 501 Chicago Bulls @ 502 Indiana Pacers

Projected line: 184 points | Chicago by 6 points

Chicago is still fighting for having the best record of the league and entire home court advantage for the playoffs, having had 3 days off to rest before this game. They have been already practicing for the playoffs and coach Thibs said that he would use all his players on today's game. Even though I don't expect the starters to play a huge number of minutes today, I still believe the Bulls will show some effort to win this game.

On the other side, Indiana has now their #3 seed locked up and so, they will rest Granger today. Indiana has shown some good numbers on offense recently even without Collison, but they've also faced a lot of lowly and bad defensive teams in their last games. Chicago will have some intensity today, as coach Thibs won't use their starters a lot of time and that will give more minutes to players like Asik, Gibson and Brewer, who always bring a lot of hustle and defensive quality to the team. Looking at the Bulls' much bigger motivation and better bench, I expect them to win this game. As Indiana's offense needs FT's to be effective and Chicago's top defense doesn't foul their opponents, they will struggle today. Therefore, I'll be taking both Chicago and the Under in here.
