Indiana Pacers vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
The home team has won every game in this series and the favorite has covered eight of the last 10 games between the Bucks and Pacers. The Bucks coming back and winning the way they did game 3 should have a carry over effect in game 4. Lillard should be better as he now has two games under his belt. The Pacers could have big blow depending on the status of Mathurin. I had the Bucks winning this series before it started and I’m not off the bandwagon. The line is reasonable. Give me the Bucks and the small chalk.
