The Bulls vs. Pacers game is primed to go over the total for several key reasons. Indiana plays at one of the fastest paces in the NBA, pushing the ball in transition and taking early shot clock opportunities, which naturally leads to higher-scoring games. The Pacers also rank near the top of the league in offensive efficiency but struggle defensively, often getting into shootouts.On the other side, the Bulls have the scoring firepower to keep up, especially with DeRozan, LaVine, and Vucevic contributing offensively. Chicago’s defense has been inconsistent, particularly against teams that spread the floor and play fast, which is exactly what Indiana thrives on. With both teams capable of scoring in bunches and little defensive resistance, this game has all the makings of a high-scoring affair, making the over a strong play.
