Money line
PASS.
The chances are better on the Pacers spread (-165).
Against the spread
PACERS BET -3.5 (-115).
Chicago has lost back-to-back games and failed to cover 3 of their last 4, including 2 of their last 3 on the road. He’s dealing with multiple injuries to key players and facing a Pacers team that has been on fire lately.
Indiana is 6-4 ATS in their last 10 games, including 3-1 ATS in their last 4. They are 3-2 ATS in their last 5 home games and are coming off a huge road win against a top team in the Thunder. His ability to spread the ball around and allow anyone to step up and score is what will separate him from Chicago on Wednesday.
