Bulls vs Pacers prediction
Bulls vs Pacers best bet: Bennedict Mathurin Over 15.5 points (-125)
Bennedict Mathurin just recently returned from injury after missing most of January, but overall, he’s having a nice campaign. The Canadian is averaging 17.7 PPG, which includes 17.6 at home. Mathurin dropped 16 points in his return on Monday against the Hawks.
The Indiana Pacers have already faced the Chicago Bulls twice in 2025-26, and Mathurin made his presence felt, averaging 23.5 points across those two contests. This is clearly a team that he thrives against, and Mathurin hit the ground running right away at the beginning of this week.

He’ll make an impact this evening as a scorer.
Bulls vs Pacers same-game parlay
Matas Buzelis has carved out a solid role for himself on the Bulls, averaging 14.8 points per night, but he isn’t playing his best basketball right now.
The youngster has cashed the Under in three straight, and he’s only averaging 13.5 PPG across two meetings with the Pacers this season.
Josh Giddey doesn’t shoot the three at a high rate, but he’s still averaging 1.8 makes on 4.8 attempts per contest for a 37% clip. Giddey just cashed the Over in his last appearance, going 3-for-8 from deep against the Lakers.
