Milwaukee Bucks vs Indiana Pacers Prediction

I’m not excited to back the Bucks in the road-favorite role where they’ve lost 16 times this season, but the line is reasonable. The Pacers have lost three ugly games to the Bulls and Hawks, and they’re on the end of back-to-back. The Haliburton injury doesn’t make things any better and there’s a chance the Bucks get back Connaughton, as he’s not listed as out at the time of this writing. The Bucks are 2-0 SU and ATS in two games this year against the Pacers. The Bucks got whatever they wanted offensively in those games. I’ll lay the bucket with the Bucks.
