PACERS-5 STRONG
This is a case of getting a Pacers team that is 11-6 ATS at home through Jan. 21 and last played three days ago hosting a Raptors squad playing their third game in four nights and second in 48 hours. It?s been more than a week now since the Pacers made their blockbuster deal with the Warriors. The trade strengthened Indiana?s frontcourt depth and improved team morale getting rid of Stephen Jackson.
BULLS-6.5 STRONG
The Bulls have no reason to leave anything hanging since they don?t play again for four days. They also won?t be playing at home again until Feb. 13. Chicago has been one of the best spread teams at home covering 15 of their first 23. The Heat are old, and this marks their third road game in four nights. That?s too much for Gary Payton, Shaquille O?Neal, Antoine Walker and Alonzo Mourning.
