The Pacers are back to their winning ways (kinda). After beating the Heat, they've slipped to second overall on Tankathon's reverse standings. Well, technically they have the same record as the Wizards, but we'll take the wins where we can get them. Of course, due to the protections attached to our pick in the Clippers trade, as long as we finish anywhere in the bottom four, there is no functional difference to the Pacers.
That brings us to tonight, as we take on a Chicago team that is on a four-game losing streak. The Pacers will have to do it with their 43rd different starting group of the year.
Pacers starters in Chicago:

Quenton Jackson
Ethan Thompson
Kobe Brown
Pascal Siakam
Jay Huff
But have no fear, the Bulls aren't exactly starting an All-Star squad themselves.
Bulls actual starters: Tre Jones, Collin Sexton, Isaac Okoro, Matas Buzelis, Guerschon Yabusele

We're 3.5 games "ahead" of Utah, who currently sits in 5th place, so we have a bit of breathing room if we want to stay in the top-4. I wouldn't mind sweeping the Bulls before getting back to our losing ways.
