NBA Schedule Wednesday: Chicago Bulls Face Indiana Pacers Wednesday On ESPN TV As Central Leaders Only Undefeated Team Left At 4-0 In Standings

The NBA season has been off to a quick start and one team that has begun the right way are the Indiana Pacers, as they are 4-0 and they will out that to the test on Wednesday in a game on ESPN against the Chicago Bulls and Derrick Rose starting up at 7:00 pm.

The Bulls are back with Derrick Rose and have some high expectations, while the Pacers are one of the best teams in the East and now in the standings is the only undefeated squad left. The Bulls will hit the road at Bankers Life Fieldhouse for the matchup and it should be a good one, as the Bulls should be motivated after losing to the Philadelphia 76ers in their last game and that team has been a surprise in the Atlantic division with a 3-1 record so far, while the Bulls are just 1-2 in the central.

Rose has been a bit sloppy to start the season and the Bulls rank 23rd in points per game and is ranked fifth in rebounding so far through three games played. The defense has not been as stout as last season while giving up nearly 100 points per game, but that should even out soon. The team will next host the Utah Jazz and that game comes at home after the divisional road matchup against the Indiana Pacers. Paul George and Roy Hibbert have been playing very well for the Pacers, who could be the team that knocks off the Miami Heat, as they came very close last season in the playoffs in the eastern conference finals after taking LeBron James to the distance.

The Bulls are currently at the bottom of the standings with the Bucks, as the Cavaliers and the Pistons are 2-2 on the season, while the Pacers are tops at 4-0 as the only undefeated team in the league. The Atlantic is backwards with the Sixers and Raptors on top, while the Knicks are just 1-3 on the season and now they have to bounce back quick, as they have a road game against the same Bobcats team they just lost to.

Miami is 3-2 on the season over Orlando and the Hawks, while the Timberwolves are tops in the northwest division early on with a 3-1 record. The Thunder are right behind and the Clippers are tops with the Suns and Warriors in the Pacific. The southwest looks to be the most competitive, as the Mavericks, Spurs and Rockets all have one loss with Houston on top with a 4-1 record. Game on Wednesday includes the Bulls and Pacers as the top matchup, while later on the Dallas Mavericks and Oklahoma City Thunder will play and the Warriors and Wolves could be a solid matchup as well as the Clippers and Magic.
