Why the Bulls can cover
Even if it wasn’t a dominant performance, the Bulls beat the Spurs 114-110 on Monday. The win was all the more spectacular given Chicago was down by 19 with 11:02 left in the third quarter. Among those leading the charge was Zach LaVine, who dropped a double-double on 35 points and 10 rebounds.
He’s now scored 30 or more in three consecutive games. LaVine has been the driving force in a philosophical change for Chicago offensively, as the team has gone from 28th in pace (96.3 possessions per game) last season to second (104.0) in the NBA this year. See which team to back at SportsLine.
Why the Pacers can cover
The Pacers strolled past the Nets comfortably on Monday, taking the game 113-99. Tyrese Haliburton was the offensive standout of the game as he posted 23 points and eight assists despite suffering an ankle injury that sent him to the locker room at the end of the first half.
However, the all-star guard is listed as questionable for Wednesday because of that ankle injury. During its current three-game winning streak, Indiana has covered by an average of 10.6 points per game, and the Pacers have also covered the spread in four of five games.
