Milwaukee Bucks vs. Indiana Pacers: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

Just four days after their last meeting, two Eastern Conference rivals face off again on the court, as the Milwaukee Bucks take on the Indiana Pacers.

These two teams are currently ranked fourth and fifth in the East and looking to seal their place in the NBA playoffs.

It was the Pacers that came out on top in Indianapolis earlier this week, but the Bucks will feel they can turn the tables at the Fiserv Forum.

Milwaukee Bucks vs. Indiana Pacers betting picks and predictions

Milwaukee Bucks -5.5 (-105)

It was only Tuesday when these teams last went toe-to-toe, with the Pacers running out 115-114 victors at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

The hosts though will go into Saturday’s clash with a 6-4 record in their last 10 games and head into the game off the back of an impressive win over the Los Angeles Lakers.

No fewer than four Bucks stars racked up 20+ points in the 126-106 success over LeBron and co. and they will be looking to build on that success.

Milwaukee will also have an extra day to prepare for the latest Pacers matchup, with Indiana facing the Philadelphia 76ers on the road, on Friday night.

The Pacers’ form on the road will be a bit of concern for their fans going into this game, with Rick Carlisle’s squad having a 17-18 record outside of Indianapolis.

The last time these two teams met in Wisconsin was back in late November, when the Bucks ran out 129-117 victors - Giannis Antetokounmpo scoring 37 points that night.

Having missed the Pacers game earlier this week, Chris Livingston has recovered from illness and could feature for the Bucks on Saturday night.

Power forward Tyler Smith has missed 17 games on the spin due to injury and the rookie looks likely to sit out again against Indiana.

The Pacers have offered another 10-day deal to Tony Bradley, which means the former Utah Jazz center can feature against the Bucks.

Tyrese Haliburton managed 32 minutes in the W over the Bucks, following a recent hip injury, and the point guard should be involved again on Saturday.

Giannis Antetokounmpo – Over 31.5 points (-115)

As the Bucks head into the final 17 games of the regular season, Giannis is in fine form and has a second Championship ring in his sights.

The ‘Greek Freak’ has shone on his home court, averaging 30.75 over the last four games at the Fiserv Forum, including 37 in defeat to the Orlando Magic earlier this month.

Giannis is currently ranked second in the league’s points-scoring stats, with an average of 30.5 from 53 games this season.

He also enjoyed a stellar day last time these teams met in Milwaukee, firing 37 points and 10 rebounds in the Bucks’ 12-point victory.

The fact the Power forward only managed 19 points in this week’s loss to the Pacers is likely to fire up the nine-time NBA All Star to have a big day in and around the paint.

Milwaukee Bucks – Over 120.5 Points (-110)

Doc Rivers’ men, currently fourth in the Eastern Conference, have averaged 114.8 points per game this season, which sees them ranked 13th in the league.

Recent games on their home court though have seen the Bucks rack up over 120 in three of their last five games at the Fiserv Forum.

Milwaukee are inside the top five for Field Goal Percentage (48.2), while they sit second in the league for Three-Point Percentage stats (38.4).

There are two Bucks stars also inside the top-15 points scorers, with Damian Lillard (11th) joining Giannis with a 25.2 point average.
