Milwaukee Bucks vs. Indiana Pacers Prediction
In the 2023-2024 season, the Pacers have pretty much owned the Bucks during the regular season, including in games where Giannis Antetokounmpo has played. The Pacers have gone 4-1 against the Bucks during that time, and the only time the Bucks won was when Giannis dropped 64 points for a home win.
In this game today, not only is Giannis not playing again but the Pacers now have Pascal Siakam who they did not have in the regular season against the Bucks. Siakam is currently has the highest points per game in the playoffs so far of any player on the team.
The Pacers lost the first game of this playoff matchup but I believe that's because that was the first playoff game for most Pacers players and they were not ready for the bright lights, but Game 2 went exactly how it should have with the Pacers winning by 17 points. Now that Indiana is playing at home where they've won both meetings with the Bucks in front of a hungry Indiana crowd, I think the Pacers will win by at least 6+.
In fact, without Giannis, I don't think the Bucks will win another game the rest of the series, and I can see this series not being competitive unless Giannis comes back and plays. I believe there is great value on this spread today and I'm loving it.
