Milwaukee Bucks vs Indiana Pacers Prediction
Number 3 seed Milwaukee Bucks will host Number 6 seed Indiana Pacers in Game 1 of their 1st Round NBA Playoffs Series in the Eastern Conference. In the last 5 head-to-head meetings, the Pacers got 4 wins and the Bucks only 1 win. The Pacers are slight favorites to win this playoff series, but with game 1 in Milwaukee, the Bucks will want to start the series on a positive note with a home win.
The Milwaukee Bucks had a strong regular season and looked set to finish at least 2nd in the Eastern Conference until they lost their last 2 games and ended up 3rd behind Boston Celtics and New York Knicks. The losses in the last 2 games came following an injury to Bucks star player and former NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, who missed the last 3 games and is still likely to miss this game 1 of the playoff series.
The Indiana Pacers, on their part, gave steady performances throughout the regular season. In the end, they managed to secure 6th spot, just managing to avoid the Play-ins ahead of Philadelphia 76ers. The addition of former Toronto forward Pascal Siakam has proven to be a good move, as his strong performances have significantly helped the Pacers this season.
The two teams have given us high-scoring games in recent meetings. All the last 5 H2H games each scored over 230 points in total and we expect the same to happen in this match. Our Milwaukee Bucks vs Indiana Pacers prediction is Over 230.5 Points.
Tip: Total Over 230.5 Points
