The Indiana Pacers wrap up a five-game road trip tonight as they take on the Chicago Bulls in the United Center. The Pacers won in that arena in late December, but they have dropped two other games against the Bulls at home this season.

Indiana has been away from home for more than a week and came to Chicago from Los Angeles, so this game will be tough physically. But the Bulls aren't playing well right now and have dropped three-straight outings, so perhaps the Pacers can take advantage of their poor form. It is an important game for both squads with seeding on the line.

The Pacers will be missing Bennedict Mathurin (torn right labrum) tonight. Oscar Tshiebwe, Isaiah Wong, and Quenton Jackson are inactive as a part of their two-way contracts. T.J. McConnell and Aaron Nesmith were listed as questionable but are available to play.
