Expert picks & predictions for Sunday’s Bulls vs. Pacers game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans Tyrese Haliburton and Josh Giddey to double-double:
“I would take a look at double-double, triple-double, or any ladder opportunities on Josh Giddey and Tyrese Haliburton. The total is set around 243.5 at most shops and both teams haven’t had issues scoring since the All-Star break. Haliburton has double-doubled in four straight games and Giddey has double-doubled in five consecutive. Both guards are on a roll and this is an ideal matchup to keep it going.”
