Chicago at Indiana

The Indiana Pacers have given the Chicago Bulls all they can handle despite being down in the series 2-0. The Bulls are an excellent defensive team and are likely to come out on the road with a physical presence. The Bulls have gone 49-35 to the first-half UNDER this season including 12-6 UNDER in division games. Indiana is 46-38 UNDER in the first half including 23-18 UNDER on their home court. Game three in the NBA playoffs has a history of playing to the UNDER in the first half. It's a critical game in which the home team is often fighting for their lives as is the case here. Indiana will be playing inspired defense in an effort to salvage the series. I like this one to fall UNDER the total in the first half.
