Through 1 Quarter

The Indiana Pacers are on the road but looking no worse for wear. They are way out in front after one quarter with a 31-18 lead over the Chicago Bulls. The Pacers have been led by small forward Caris LeVert, who so far has ten points.

Indiana has been relying on the performance of LeVert, who has ten points. LeVert’s performance is making up for a slower contest against the New Orleans Pelicans this past Saturday.

Both Indiana and Chicago padded the win column in their previous outings. We’ll see if Indiana can maintain their lead to polish off another win and cancel out Chicago’s positive energy.

What to Know

The Chicago Bulls are getting right back to it as they host the Indiana Pacers at 8 p.m. ET Nov. 22 at United Center. Chicago is out to keep their three-game home win streak alive.

The Bulls didn’t have too much breathing room in their game with the New York Knicks on Sunday, but they still walked away with a 109-103 win. Chicago’s small forward DeMar DeRozan did his thing and had 31 points and five assists in addition to six boards.

Meanwhile, while not quite a landslide, the contest between Indiana and the New Orleans Pelicans this past Saturday was still a pretty decisive one as Indiana wrapped it up with a 111-94 victory at home. Indiana’s power forward Domantas Sabonis looked sharp as he posted a double-double on 20 points and ten rebounds along with six dimes. Sabonis had some trouble finding his footing against the Charlotte Hornets this past Friday, so this was a step in the right direction.

Barring any buzzer beaters, the Bulls are expected to win a tight contest on Monday. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (8-2), so they might be worth a quick bet.

Chicago is now 12-5 while the Pacers sit at 7-11. Chicago is 7-4 after wins this season, Indiana 2-4.
