In their previous game against the Houston Rockets, Turner showcased his skills on both ends of the court. He scored 18 points, grabbed 5 rebounds, and blocked 2 shots, displaying his prowess as a center. Turner's offensive rating of 160.95 and defensive rating of 113.41 further solidify his impact on the game.


But Turner isn't the only player making waves for the Pacers. Tyrese Haliburton has been a force to be reckoned with at the guard position. In their game against the Orlando Magic, Haliburton recorded an impressive stat line of 33 points, 10 assists, and 6 rebounds. His shooting percentages were also remarkable, with a field goals percentage of 62% and a three-point percentage of 54%.


Buddy Hield and Jalen Smith have also been consistent contributors for the Pacers. Hield's ability to stretch the floor with his three-point shooting has been crucial for Indiana's offense. Meanwhile, Smith's versatility as a forward-center has allowed him to make an impact on both ends of the court.


On the other side of the court, the Chicago Bulls have their own standout players who will be looking to make an impact in this game. Andre Drummond has been a dominant force in recent games, showcasing his rebounding prowess by grabbing an impressive 25 rebounds in their game against the Atlanta Hawks.


DeMar DeRozan has also been a key player for the Bulls with his scoring ability and playmaking skills. In their game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, DeRozan scored 21 points and dished out 8 assists, proving to be a vital piece of Chicago's offense.


As the Pacers and Bulls prepare to face off, it's clear that both teams have players who can make a significant impact on the game. The matchup between Myles Turner and Andre Drummond in the paint will be one to watch, as both players have been dominant on the boards.


The game is scheduled to take place on December 28th at the United Center in Chicago. Fans can catch all the action on NBCS-CHI for home viewers and BSIN for away viewers.
