The Bulls had been one of the strongest Under teams in the NBA until recently, as four of their last five have gone Over. I think that's just an anomaly as this Bulls team remains incredibly inefficient on offense, and that's bound to get worse now that they'll be without Wendell Carter and forced to play Daniel Gafford more. The Bulls are top 10 in the NBA in defensive efficiency, and the Pacers aren't far behind.
Get ready for things to get even worse in Chicago. Already sporting a 13-25 record, the Bulls are now going to be without Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) for the next four to six weeks. Losing his size and defense up front is a crushing blow, especially for this matchup against a Pacers team that rolls out Myles Turner and Domantas Sabonis. Sabonis is officially listed as questionable with knee soreness, but he was also listed as questionable Wednesday and ended up playing 37 minutes against the Heat. Malcolm Brogdon (back) could also return for this matchup, which I think the Pacers will win going away.
