Game Preview
On Thursday, the Indiana Pacers (15-14) will travel to Chicago to take on the Bulls (14-18). Indiana just defeated the Houston Rockets 123-117 on their travels on Tuesday. Chicago, on the other hand, just defeated the Atlanta Hawks 118-113 at home on Tuesday.
The Bulls are sporting a 9-4 record since the 30th of November and have been playing good basketball lately despite being quiet. Zach LaVine has been sidelined with an injury that will keep him out of this game at this time. Nikola Vucevic is currently out with an uncertain injury timetable after missing the most recent game. Even without both of them, the Bulls advanced towards 10-8 at home on Tuesday thanks to a performance that included 24 points and 25 rebounds from Andre Drummond. Chicago’s defense, which now ranks 16th in the league, is the reason for their success. They punish opponents with the fifth-highest turnover percentage in the league. It helps conceal the fact that the Bulls, more than any other club, let opponents attempt 45.0% of their shots from beyond the arc. Additionally, it covers up poor defensive rebounding.
Indiana’s record from the In-Season Tournament Final until Christmas was 2-6. The two victories came against the Charlotte Hornets and Pistons. Thus, defeating the Rockets on Tuesday represented a significant step in the direction of getting back to their early-season form. Tyrese Haliburton, who leads the NBA in assists, led Indiana with 33 points as well as 10 assists. With the best actual shooting percentage in the league and the highest point total per game, the Pacers lead the league in offensive rating. Based on the three floor levels, their efficiency ranks in the top five. Indiana ranks eleventh in terms of both turnover percentage and free throw percentage. They don’t need to, but they don’t frequently reach the free throw line or take many offensive rebounds.
