Fascinatingly even matchup tonight, after a brutal schedule the Bulls have someone more their speed in the Indiana Pacers.
Indiana is currently 2 games ahead of the Bulls for 9th, the difference between that and 10th being home court in the first part of the play-in tournament. Which is pretty close to meaningless this year, but the Bulls simply need wins no matter the opponent.
It’ll also be a good measurement of how much Nikola Vucevic improves things in the frontcourt. In these teams first matchup the day after Christmas, the Pacers absolutely dominated in the paint led by Domantas Sabonis.
