BEST BETS

Harper: Bulls (-4.5) OVER Pacers. Indiana’s been hot lately, but they haven’t been able to unlock their offense much. The Bulls have struggled to put together solid efforts consistently and have yet to unlock their offense as well. Both teams want to play faster and be more explosive. Feels like the Bulls should be able to exploit the confusion of the Pacers and cover this home game.

Herbert: Pacers (+4.5) at Bulls . Indiana’s won six of its last seven, so I’m a little surprised by this line. The way Paul George is playing, I expect the Pacers to at least keep it close against Chicago.

Moore: Suns (-11.5) OVER Lakers : The Los Angeles Lakers are terrible.

Are the Pacers going to be able to keep up the winning against the Bulls?
