(NBA) Indiana vs. Chicago,
Point Spread: 1.50 | -110.00 Indiana (Away)
Result: Loss
Indiana (51-19) was the first team in the East to secure a postseason spot and leads Miami for the best record in the conference by three games with 12 remaining. The Pacers also own a 12-game lead over the Bulls, whom they beat 91-79 on Friday night, and are on the verge of clinching back-to-back division titles for just the second time in franchise history. Monday night Indiana will take the court knowing they are 43-8 SU this season against sub .570 opponents. On the flip side the Bulls stand just 3-7 SU this campaign versus .735 or greater teams. With that, look for Chicago to fall to 4-11-2 ATS as a host in this series in games in which the Pacers arrive off a loss here tonight. The Pacers are off a poor shooting game and I like them to come up strong tonight against the Bulls.
