Bulls Pacers Parlay Picks: ATS, Prop Bet for Jan. 8

1. Chicago Bulls ATS +6

While the Chicago Bulls’ defense continues to resemble a shipwreck as one of the league’s worst, I’m still backing them to cover the spread on the road and even up this season series. Neither team is exactly lighting it up right now, but after the Bulls snagged a 114-110 win over the San Antonio Spurs squad, they’re showing signs of life.

Not to mention, the Indiana Pacers might be missing their engine, PG Tyrese Haliburton, who’s listed as a game-time decision (per updated Bulls vs Pacers injuries). Sure, the Pacers can still put up points, but Chicago’s offense is finally starting to click. Between SG Zach LaVine (23.1 points), C Nikola Vucevic (20.5 points, 10.2 rebounds), and PG Coby White (18.6 points), the Bulls have the tools to make life miserable for Indiana tonight. Without Haliburton, I’m not sure where the Pacers are finding enough juice to stay in this one.

This game won’t be a pretty one – you’re in for plenty of missed shots and wide-open layups  – but Chicago’s rolling in with the edge. I’m riding with the Chicago Bulls to bring the energy and cover the spread. Take Chicago to hang on.

Bet This Pick: Bulls ATS +6

2. Bulls SG Josh Giddey Under 12.5 Points (-122)

Not only will this Eastern Conference matchup stay tight until the final buzzer, but for my Bulls vs Pacers player prop pick, I’m locking in Bulls SG Josh Giddey to finish with under 13 points.

Here’s the deal: Giddey isn’t here to fill it up on the scoreboard. He’s a pass-first guard who’s much better at setting the table than eating the meal himself. Case in point, he managed just six points against the Spurs in his last outing. Meanwhile, with Bulls SG Zach LaVine (back-to-back 30-point performances) staying in rhythm, Chicago’s offense will keep running through their star scorer to secure the lead early. And who’s making sure LaVine gets the ball in all the right spots? Yep, it’s Giddey.

Now, am I saying Josh Giddey will be invisible? No, he’ll do his thing. But do I think he’s hitting 13 points? Not tonight. Bet on him to stay under the mark.
