Game Preview
Giannis and the Bucks have posted two consecutive defeats, one at home to the Nets, 111-105, and the second on the road in Chicago, 116-111. For the moment, this team is the No.6 seed in the Eastern Conference and holds the NBA playoff spot.
The Bucks’ stats show that they are playing solid defense. They allow only 45.3% field goal, which is the sixth-best in the league. Though, somehow, they managed to lose 14 games so far. It seems that the Giannis-Lillard connection isn’t working as expected.
After losing 142-105 to the Celtics, the Pacers bounced back, beating the champions at the TD Garden 123-114. With Tyrese Haliburton in the zone, everything was easier, as he scored 31 points with seven assists and six boards.

The Pacers shoot 48.7% from the field and are No.4 in this category in the NBA. However, they allow 116.8 points each night, which is terrible data, particularly for a team chasing the NBA playoffs.
Bucks vs. Pacers Head to Head
The Bucks beat the Pacers in the first game of the year, 129-117, which was back on November 23.
Bucks vs. Pacers Prediction
Milwaukee is in a tough spot because it is very inconsistent and unpredictable. The same goes for the Pacers, who aren’t great at stability. But due to Milwaukee’s pretty negative road record, 5-9, we take the Indiana Pacers to triumph in this clash.
