Bulls tipoff
Indiana Pacers at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, 6 p.m.
TV: Comcast SportsNet
Radio: WMVP 1000-AM
Update: The last time the Bulls played in Indianapolis, it was almost exactly a year ago, Game 4 of the playoffs, and the Fieldhouse was filled with roughly 67 percent Bulls fans. The Pacers (42-23) kept improving and already locked up the No. 3 seed in the East. Top scorer Danny Granger (18.7 ppg) is not expected to play. Otherwise, Indiana has gotten balanced scoring from C Roy Hibbert, PF David West, SG Paul George and rotating point guards Darren Collison and George Hill, who became the starter recently when Collison went out with an injury. These teams split two games in Chicago earlier this season.
