NBA Playoff Preview: Indiana Pacers vs. Chicago Bulls

Pointspread: Chicago -4.5 Over/Under: 189 The Chicago Bulls take their show on the road in Thursday night?s Game 3 of their best-of-seven first round matchup against the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Tip-off from Conseco Fieldhouse is set for 7 p.m. (ET) and the game will be broadcast nationally on NBA TV. Chicago has opened up a 2-0 lead in this series but it has not been easy. It won the opener last Saturday 104-99 but could not cover as an 11 ½-point home favorite. The Bulls were favored by 11 ½ points again in Game 2 on Monday night, but they came away with just a six-point 96-90 victory at home. The total went ?over? the 188 point line in Game 1, but stayed ?under? the 193 point closing line in the second game. Derrick Rose has been unstoppable so far; accounting for close to 40 percent of Chicago?s points with 39 last Saturday and 36 on Monday night. Luol Deng added 18 points and 10 rebounds to the winning effort in Game 1 and Carlos Boozer chipped in 17 points and 16 rebounds in Game 2. The Bulls have owned the boards with a 106-67 edge over the Pacers in rebounds. Indiana actually led most of the way in Game 1, but was outscored 33-20 in the fourth quarter in the five-point loss. It was tied with the Bulls heading into the fourth quarter of Monday night?s game, but could not stop Rose and Co. from pulling away down the stretch for the second straight time. Danny Grainger has led the Pacers in scoring with an average of 21.5 points a game. Darren Collison, who scored 17 points in Game 1 is currently listed as questionable and will most likely be a game time decision after spraining his ankle on Monday night. Head-to-head, the Bulls have now won five of the six games this season straight-up, but the Pacers are 3-0 against the spread in the last three. The total has gone ?over? in three of the last four meetings. The loss of Collison will hurt, but stick with Indiana to keep this game close enough to cover as a 4 ½-point home dog.

NBA Playoff Preview: Indiana Pacers vs. Chicago Bulls

The NBA Eastern Conference playoffs get underway this weekend and one of the matchups features a Central Division battle between the No.8 seed Indiana Pacers and the No.1 seed Chicago Bulls in a first round best-of-seven game series.

Indiana was the final team in the East to clinch a playoff spot but it enters the postseason with some momentum after winning five of its last seven games heading into Wednesday?s season finale against Orlando. The Pacers are 37-44 straight-up overall and 38-41-2 against the spread. The total has gone ?over? in five of their last seven games but has stayed ?under? in 54.3 percent of the games this season.

Led by Danny Granger?s 20.5 points a game, Indiana is ranked 11th in the league in scoring with an average of 100.1 points. Darren Collison and Roy Hibbert are each averaging around 13 points a game and Hibbert leads the team in rebounds with 7.6. The Pacers are ranked 18th in the NBA in points allowed; giving up an average of 101 a game.

Chicago?s run over the past few weeks has been impressive to say the least with 20 wins in its last 22 games. The Bulls still have a shot at ending up with the best overall record in the NBA with a win in their season finale against New Jersey. They are 61-20 SU and 49-30-2 ATS and the total has stayed ?under? in 46 of 81 games this year.

Derrick Rose has had a monster year with 25.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 7.8 assists a game. Carlos Boozer and Luol Deng are each averaging over 17 points a game and Joakim Noah leads the team in rebounds with 10.4. Chicago is ranked 19th in the league in scoring with 98.6 points a game, but has the best scoring differential in the NBA with a +7.34 advantage over its opponents.

The Bulls have won three of the four meetings this season, but lost to the Pacers 115-108 in overtime on March 18 as a four-point road favorite. The total was split 2-2 overall, but it did go ?over? in the last two games.

Chicago looks like it is ready to make a long run in this year?s playoffs but this series will not be as easy as it looks. Indiana actually matches up well with the Bulls and should be able to steal a game or two at home, but in the end Chicago advances in six.

Josh Smith is second with 16.7 points while Al Horford is averaging 16 points and a team-high 9.8 rebounds a game. Jamal Crawford remains one of the best players off the bench with 15 points and 3.2 assists per game.

Chicago is 4-1 ATS in its last five games on the road and Atlanta is 3-3 ATS in its last six games at home. Head-to-head, the Hawks have won seven of the last eight games SU and are 6-1 ATS.

Stick with Atlanta as a 2 ½-point underdog as it responds with an outright win at home after a long road trip.
