The sixth-seeded Indiana Pacers are on the road to take on the third-seeded Milwaukee Bucks in Game 1 of their best-of-seven series. The Pacers took four of the five meetings this season. Indiana finished the season winning four of their last five games. Indiana finished 1st in the league in scoring offense with 123.3 points per game. On the defensive end, they were 27th allowing 120.2 points per game. Milwaukee finished the season losing two in a row. The Bucks finished 4th in the league in scoring at 119 points per game. On the defensive end, they were 21st at 116.4 points per game. Antetokounmpo is doubtful for this contest while Lillard and Green are both questionable. The Pacers are a high scoring offense and the Bucks struggle at the defensive end. Without Giannis on the floor I see the Bucks having problems keeping pace with the Pacers. Milwaukee was 4-6 in games that Antetokounmpo missed this season. Dame Time is not 100% and that is another problem for the Bucks. I am taking the Pacers in this one.

Play on Indiana, this is a 4% play.
