Indiana Pacers vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction

The Pacers are more than capable of winning this game outright if shots are falling and it’s a big game as these teams are fighting for the fourth seed. This is a potential playoff matchup and games like this could determine who has home-court advantage. With that said, I lean the Bucks. The Bucks had that game on the road a few days ago against the Pacers, but a last-second foul on Haliburton gave Indiana the win. Less than a week later, the Bucks didn’t forget and will want some revenge. The home team has won eight of the last 10 games between the Pacers and Bucks. At full strength and playing close to their potential, the Bucks are the better side. The line isn’t crazy. I’ll roll with the Bucks at home.
