Current Records: Chicago 22-24; Indiana 23-25
What to Know
The Indiana Pacers will be returning home after a four-game road trip. They will take on the Chicago Bulls at 7 p.m. ET Tuesday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse after having had a few days off. The Pacers haven’t won a contest against Chicago since Nov. 22 of 2021, but they’ll be looking to end the drought.
Indiana was within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap this past Saturday as they fell 112-107 to the Phoenix Suns. Point guard T.J. McConnell put forth a good effort for the losing side as he posted a triple-double on 18 points, 12 assists, and ten rebounds. That’s McConnell’s first triple-double of the season.
Meanwhile, while not quite a landslide, the game between Chicago and the Atlanta Hawks on Monday was still a pretty decisive one as Chicago wrapped it up with a 111-100 victory at home. Chicago’s small forward DeMar DeRozan did his thing and had 26 points and six assists.
Chicago’s win lifted them to 22-24 while Indiana’s defeat dropped them down to 23-25. Allowing an average of 116.77 points per game, the Pacers haven’t exactly asserted themselves on the defensive end. We’ll see if they can patch up the holes in their defense before their upcoming matchup.
