Indiana Pacers at Milwaukee Bucks Preview & Picks

Indiana are backed to bounce back from the heavy Game 1 defeat.

The Pacers dug themselves into an early hole in that one, but if they can avoid the same mistake here they can get the job done.

  • Indiana Pacers are 5-3 in the last 8 meetings with Milwaukee
  • Milwaukee Bucks are 4-8 in their last 12 games
  • The game winner is 10-0-0 ATS in the last 10 meetings
  • The Over has cashed in 8 of the last 10 meetings

Head To Head

  • Milwaukee Bucks lead the all-time series 116-96
  • Milwaukee Bucks lead this NBA Playoff series 1-0
  • Milwaukee Bucks won 109-94 when the two teams last met on April 21

Indiana Pacers Form

Indiana go into Game 2 looking to level the series before they head back home for the next two games in the series.

The Pacers finished the regular season with 47-35 record, securing sixth place in the Eastern Conference standings.

They were able to claim the final automatic playoff place in the conference by winning seven of their final 10 games in the regular season.

Four of them came in their final five games as Indiana beat Oklahoma City 126-112, Miami 117-115 and Toronto 140-123, before responded with a 129-120 loss in Cleveland with a 157-115 blowout of Atlanta.

The Pacers made a disappointing start to the postseason however, as they were beaten 109-94 in Milwaukee in Game 1.

Milwaukee Bucks Form

Milwaukee won Game 1 without Giannis Antetokounmpo, and they are now looking to double their lead before heading out on the road.

The Bucks put together a 49-33 record in the regular season to earn themselves third place in the Eastern Conference.

They spluttered late in the regular season though as they lost seven of their final 10 games, including their final two outings.

Milwaukee went out on the road to lose 125-107 to Oklahoma City and 113-88 in Orlando as they closed out the regular season.

The Bucks put those losses behind them in their opening playoff game though, as they downed Indiana, 109-94, at home.

Verdict

Indiana were unable to climb out of the hole they dug themselves as they dropped the seriers opener.

They still have a good recent record against the Bucks though, including in Milwaukee, so we are backing them to bounce back.
