Milwaukee Bucks Form

Milwaukee head out on the road looking to bounce back from a home defeat that levelled up the series.

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

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

Milwaukee put those losses behind them in their opening playoff game, as they ran out 109-94 winners at home to Indiana.

However, the Bucks were unable to secure a 2-0 lead in the series before heading to Indiana, dropping the second meeting 125-108.

Indiana Pacers Form

Indiana return home having given them a slight upper-hand in the series after a big road win in Game 2.

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

They won seven of their final 10 games in the regular season to come into the playoffs with momentum, but they stumbled on opening night.

Everyone outside of Pascal Siakam struggled offensively as they suffered a 109-94 defeat in Milwaukee.

Indiana came roaring back in the second meeting though, as Siakam shone again and all five starters scored double digits in a 125-108 win.

Verdict

Game 2 was a serious improvement for Indiana, who got star performances and an all-round team display.

They are now back home and have a strong recent record against the Bucks, so we are backing the Pacers to edge ahead in the series.
