The downtrodden Indiana Pacers will look to get back on track as they travel to The Windy City to take on the 2-2 Chicago Bulls on Wednesday. The Indiana Pacers are lucky they had the Detroit Pistons on their early-season schedule, or they would be winless heading into this encounter with the Chicago Bulls.
Meanwhile, the Bulls have been the epitome of inconsistency in 2022. The Bulls have defeated good teams--the Heat and the Celtics and lost to mediocre teams--Cavaliers and Wizards. The Bulls are playing the role of Jekyll and Hyde. Which team will we see on Wednesday night?

The Chicago Bulls have been a balanced lineup thus far, receiving contributions from unlikely sources at times.
DeMar DeRozan is averaging 27 points per game this season and deserves the accolades he has received. If DeRozan has it going, he is virtually unstoppable on the offensive end of the court.
Nikola Vucevic provides the interior presence that the Bulls need to function. Vucevic is averaging 13 rebounds per game as he controls the glass.
Zach LeVine is doing everything in between for this team and is the engine for the offense when things get tough.
Ayo Dosunmu has provided a spark offensively and is giving the Bulls a surprising lift.
For the Indiana Pacers, it has been all about Tyrese Haliburton. The Pacers' PG leads the team in points, assists, and steals. For the Pacers to keep pace in games, Haliburton has to be great.
The Pacers need to get Buddy Hield going offensively. Hield is averaging 13 points per night. The Pacers need Hield's outside shooting to space the floor for Haliburton and others to work their magic.

Chicago Bulls vs. Indiana Pacers Best Pick:
As mentioned earlier, Nikola Vucevic is averaging 13 rebounds per game. I don't see anyone on the Pacers' interior that will give Vucevic any issues. The Bulls' big man is essential for their success on both ends.
Nikola Vucevic: Rebounds: Over 11
Chicago Bulls vs. Indiana Pacers Final Prediction
The Bulls feel like the better team, and they're playing at home. The Bulls are not a dominant team in any way. Given how inconsistent Chicago has been this season, it is tough to trust them to be this large of a favorite. Chicago will win, but the Pacers will keep it close.
Indiana Pacers: +7.5 (-110)
