The Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers are set to face off in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET. The Pacers currently lead the series 1–0 after a dominant 117–98 victory in Game 1.

In Game 1, Indiana established control early, building a 24-point halftime lead and maintaining their advantage throughout. The Pacers’ efficient offense and strong shooting outpaced the Bucks, despite Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 36-point effort. A significant development for Game 2 is the potential return of Bucks’ All-Star guard Damian Lillard, who is listed as questionable. Lillard has been sidelined since March 18 due to a blood clot in his right calf but has recently resumed full basketball activities. His return could provide a much-needed boost to Milwaukee’s offense.

Brook Lopez Over 11.5 Points

Brook Lopez is averaging 13.0 points per game, with a field goal percentage of 50.9% and a three-point percentage of 37.3%. Lopez also contributes 5.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.9 blocks per game, while playing an average of 31.8 minutes per contest. ​Lopez scored 15+ points in 5 of his last 7 games to finish the season. He had a quiet game in game 1, but if the Bucks want any chance in this game, some of these veteran role players will need to step up and make an impact on the offensive side of the ball. 

Tyrese Haliburton Over 10.5 Assists 

Haliburton is averaging 9.2 assists per game, totaling 673 assists for the season, which ranks him fourth in the league. In addition to his playmaking, Haliburton contributes 18.6 points and 3.5 rebounds per game, while playing an average of 33.6 minutes per contest. His shooting efficiency includes a field goal percentage of 47.3% and a three-point percentage of 38.8%. ​Haliburton is coming off a 12-assist game in the first game of this series. It seems like the Pacers want him to be more of a facilitator rather than being a scorer. I expect him to have another strong night creating opportunities for the guys on his team. 

Giannis Antekokoumpo Over 32.5 Points

Antekokoumpo is averaging 30.4 points per game, ranking second in the league, along with 11.9 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game. His shooting efficiency includes a field goal percentage of 60.1%. His contributions on both ends of the court have solidified his status as one of the league’s elite players.​ He’s coming off a game where he scored 36 points in game 1 of this series. He was the only player in this Bucks starting lineup to score double-digit points. It seems like Giannis is going to have to do most of the scoring on this Bucks team with Middleton no longer on the team, and there still being questions about Lillard’s health.
