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.

Here are the official starting lineups and injury reports for Pacers vs Bulls.

The Pacers will be missing guard Bruce Brown, who has a bone bruise in his right knee. Tyrese Haliburton was listed as questionable with a sore lower back and is playing.

Oscar Tshiebwe, Kendall Brown, and Isaiah Wong are inactive on their two-way contracts.
