Indiana Pacers vs Chicago Bulls: Tyrese Haliburton is playing, final injury report, official starting lineups for December 28
The Indiana Pacers are in Chicago to take on the Bulls tonight. It's the second meeting between the two teams this season — the first was back in October. The Bulls won by seven after crushing Indiana in the final quarter that night.
The Pacers just made dramatic changes to their starting five and are trying to refocus their style to play better defense. They will hope those changes can lead to more success today. Indiana took down Houston on Tuesday with that new rotation.
