The Indiana Pacers travel to Chicago tonight to take on the Bulls. The Pacers are one of the fastest paced teams in the NBA, so there should be tons of points cored in this one. Tyrese Haliburton has been very consistent this season, and I believe his assists line is set perfectly for us tonight.

Indiana Pacers vs. Chicago Bulls Prediction
Tyrese Haliburton has gone over this line in 15 out of his past 26 games this season, and is averaging 12.1 assists. 44% of Haliburton's assists are coming from shots at rim. Chicago is very poor at guarding this area, allowing the 8th most field goal attempts at the rim in December.
To add on, Haliburton also sees 40% of his assists come from outside the arc. Chicago is also pretty poor in this area, allowing the 9th most 3-point field goal attempts. Ideally, a team who enters the pick and roll the 9th most in the NBA and Haliburton who is entering the pick and roll 10th most against a team who is allowing the 2nd most points in the paint against the pick and roll man, is poor at the rim and poor at guarding the 3 ball.
Someone like Haliburton should be able to make lots of pick and roll plays with Turner whilst also have the option to kick it out for the 3-ball. Haliburton has played against the Bulls earlier in the season and dropped 13 assists on 23 potential assists. Haliburton converts about 60% of his potential assists, which is totally doable for someone that is averaging 21.8 in his last five games, and had 23 last game against them. Trae Young just recently had 13 assists against the Bulls, and has a very similar assists profile as Haliburton. I expect a similar output here from Haliburton tonight.
