The Indiana Pacers will look to stay unbeaten when they host their Central Division rival Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

The Pacers are off to one of their best starts ever and on the verge of starting 5-0 for the first time in franchise history with a win against their division rival.

The Pacers, the only unbeaten team left in the 2013-14 NBA season, is coming off a 99-91 win over the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday in a game where their defense shone the brightest once again.

Indiana limited Detroit to just 37.9 percent shooting from the field, including a measly 5-for-25 clip from beyond the arc. In their first four games this season, the Pacers limited their opponents to just 85.5 points per game -- the best in the league today.

All-Star forward Paul George had another all-around performance for the Pacers against the Pistons, tallying 31 points and 10 rebounds to go along with four assists and four steals. The 23-year-old forward is averaging 27.0 points and 8.8 rebounds per game this season.

Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls will look to bounce back from two straight loses and avoid losing three of their first four games of the season with Derrick Rose back in the lineup.

The Bulls absorbed a disappointing 107-104 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday in a game in which they blew a huge 20-point lead in the second quarter.

Rose struggled once again for the Bulls as he finished with just 13 points on 4-for-14 shooting, while also committing eight costly turnovers. The former Most Valuable Players was badly outplayed by rookie Michael Carter-Williams, who finished with 26 points and 10 assists for the 76ers.

The Bulls are struggling on both ends of the floor, averaging just 93.7 points a game, 23rd in the league, shooting just 23.2 percent from beyond the arc in their first two games, while allowing their opponents to shoot 47 percent from the three-point region.

Head-To-Head

The Pacers won their season-series, 2-1, last year with the Bulls playing without Rose. With Rose in the lineup, the Bulls are 14-6 against the Pacers, but are only 4-5 in games played at Indiana. Rose scored 42 points against the Pacers on March 18, 2011, while scoring more than 35 points in three more games against Indiana.

TV Schedule and Live Stream Info

Tip off of the Bulls-Pacers match is scheduled at 7 p.m. EST. The game will be broadcasted live on CSN Chicago and Fox Sports Midwest. Live stream of the game is also available through ESPN Watch and NBA League Pass.
