Indiana vs Chicago

Question

Both teams heading into this one are not looking good. Indiana lost 3 straight prior to winning 2 straight while the Bulls have been up and down going LLWLW in their last 5. Paul George has been struggling mightily recently and going up against an elite defender in Jimmy Butler won't do much to help his cause, toss in the fact that Jordan Hill will be out a vital piece of their front court and bench. CJ Miles on the other hand is questionable. But all is not lost for Indiana because despite all this, Monta Ellis has really stepped it up averaging 20 ppg on more than 50% shooting in his last 3. Also, Indiana has held opponents to under 90 points in their last 2.

Chicago on the other hand is a mess right now. There have been reports stating that Jimmy Butler is not getting along with his teammates and that he seems to have changed after signing his new contract. His teammates are questioning his leadership and the tension between Butler and his teammates is really bad.

A -3 line seems fishy to me given the fact that Indiana is missing a lot of key players and their superstar is struggling. Chicago should be more heavily favored in this one. But with the reports on Jimmy Butler, it seems like the Bulls aren't a team you can count on right now. The pick is INDIANA. But please feel free to comment and discuss if ever I did miss out on any important points. Let us all help each other. Thank you and good luck to all!!

your thoughts pointing in the right direction. Chicago is incosistent right now, so is indiana. But Bulls won their last game with Toronto, the line was -1.5 . Indiana winning last two matches, against MIN and ATLanta. And they are dogs now with 3 points?. That is really fishy. I think Bulls will cover -3 easily, even with the Jimmy Butler thing. Line speak louder than anything else.
