Jan. 29 will mark a special day in the Central Division, as star shooting guard Victor Oladipo makes his return from injury for the Indiana Pacers against the Chicago Bulls. Oladipo missed the last year due to a ruptured quad that he suffered in the midst of the 2018-19 regular season. Throughout the course of the last year without Oladipo in the lineup, the Pacers played well. They made the playoffs last season as a five seed, and are on track to at least do the same this year.
The Bulls enter this decisive Wednesday night showdown against the divisional foe Pacers with a record of 19-30.
