Indiana Pacers vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction 3/15/2026 Today’s NBA Picks

The Indiana Pacers invade the Fiserv Forum to take on the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday night.

Indiana Pacers Betting Preview 

The Indiana Pacers have been in a terrible slump as they’ve lost 16 of their last 18 games overall and they will be hoping to arrest a 12-game losing streak after getting beaten by the Knicks in a 101-92 loss on Friday. Jarace Walker led the team with 18 points, nine rebounds and three assists, Aaron Nesmith added 12 points while Ivica Zubac chipped in with 11 points but no other player scored more than 10 points. As a team, the Pacers shot just 39 percent from the field and 10 of 38 from the 3-point line as they worked hard in the third quarter to overcome a 15-point deficit, but they couldn’t maintain that run in the fourth quarter where they scored just 18 points to allow the Knicks to slip away in the end. 

Milwaukee Bucks Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Bucks have been in a major slump as they’ve dropped eight of their last nine games overall and they will be hoping to halt a four-game losing streak after getting thrashed by the Hawks in a 122-99 road defeat last night. Ryan Rollins led the team in scoring with 22 points with eight assists on eight of 11 shooting, Kevin Porter Jr added 18 points with seven rebounds and seven assists while Bobby Portis chipped in with 14 points off the bench. As a team, the Bucks shot 49 percent from the field and 12 of 37 from the 3-point line as they got off to a decent start thanks to some hot shooting from Rollins who barely missed all night, but without Giannis Antetokounmpo in the lineup, the Bucks didn’t have nearly enough firepower to hang with the streaking Hawks in this one. 

Indiana v Milwaukee Free Prediction

The Pacers are still missing Pascal Siakam with Aaron Nesmith, Andrew Nembhard, Ben Sheppard, TJ McConnell, Obi Toppin and Ivica Zubac all questionable, while the Bucks are keeping an eye on Ousmane Dieng and Giannis Antetokouonmpo who are both listed as day to day. These teams have already clashed three times this season with the Bucks winning each game, but two of those games were decided by six points or less so we could be in for another close one in this spot. You really couldn’t back either side with any confidence at the moment, but with the Bucks playing their second game of a back to back set, I will lean towards the depleted Pacers to pull off the upset or at least take it down to the wire.

Peter Tran's Pick: Indiana +7.5
