Pacers and Bulls Tangle in Windy City
The Indiana Pacers take on the Chicago Bulls at United Center on Wednesday night.

The Pacers (41-32) have been trending in the right direction of late as they look to hold on to a spot in the top six in the Eastern Conference, as they've won three of the past four games. Their most recent success came Monday night, when they toppled the Los Angeles Clippers by a 133-116 score. Pascal Siakam led the way with 31 points, adding four rebounds and two assists. Myles Turner registered 24 points, seven rebounds and one block. Tyrese Haliburton tallied 21 points, nine assists, one rebound and two steals. T.J. McConnell furnished 15 points, six assists and two rebounds.

The Pacers will list Aaron Nesmith (knee) and McConnell (ankle) as questionable for Wednesday's game.

The Bulls (34-38) are going through a slump at a particularly inopportune time of year, as they've dropped three consecutive games coming into Wednesday. Their most recent stumble came Monday night, when they were edged by the Washington Wizards, 107-105. DeMar DeRozan paced the Bulls with 27 points, supplementing them with six assists, two rebounds, five steals and one block. Coby White supplied 22 points, five assists, four rebounds and one block. Alex Caruso and Ayo Dosunmu contributed matching 12-point tallies, with Caruso also posting six rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block. Andre Drummond offered a 10-point, 12-rebound double-double that included one assist and two blocks.

The Bulls list Alex Caruso (ankle) as questionable for Wednesday's game. Julian Phillips (foot) will remain out.

Wednesday's game marks the fourth and final meeting between the teams this season. The Bulls lead the series, 2-1.
