Indiana Pacers at Milwaukee Bucks Preview & Picks
Milwaukee are tipped to haul themselves back into the series with a home win.
Both of the Bucks’ victories over Indiana this season have come at home, while the Pacers’ recent road record is underwhelming.
- Milwaukee Bucks are 2-0-0 ATS in meetings at home this season
- Milwaukee Bucks are 4-2-0 ATS in the last 6 meetings with Indiana
- Indiana Pacers are 5-11-0 ATS in their previous 16 road games
- The Over has cashed in 8 of the previous 11 meetings
Head To Head
- Milwaukee Bucks lead the all-time series 118-99
- Indiana Pacers won 123-115 when the two teams last met on April 22
Indiana Pacers Form
Indiana head out on the road for the first time in this series boasting a 2-0 lead thanks to consecutive home wins over Milwaukee.
The Pacers were perfect at home against the Bucks during the regular season, and that continued at the start of the playoffs.
They opened the series with a 117-98 victory, and then backed that up with a 123-115 success in Game 2.
Indiana claimed their spot in the playoffs by compiling a 50-32 record to finish fourth in the Eastern Conference.
This is the Pacers’ second straight trip to the postseason and they will be looking to better last season’s run that saw them bow out in the conference finals.
Milwaukee Bucks Form
Milwaukee return home still seeking a first victory in this playoff series, having dropped back-to-back games in Indiana.
The Bucks went 0-2 in Indiana during the regular season, and that losing trend continued in their first two postseason outings.
They dropped the first game to the Pacers, 117-98, and then suffered a 123-115 loss when the two teams met again in Game 2.
Milwaukee secured their place in the playoffs by putting together a 48-34 record to finish fifth in the Eastern Conference.
This is the ninth straight season that they have made the playoffs, and they will be determined to avoid a repeat of the first-round exits suffered in 2023 and 2024.
Verdict
Indiana have taken early control of this series, but they are 0-2 in visits to Milwaukee this season.
We expect to see a big game from Giannis and a sharper Lillard after he shook off some rust in Game 2, and for those reasons we are leaning towards the Bucks in Game 3.
