Indiana Pacers vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Joseph King | in NBA Predictions
The fourth-place Indiana Pacers host the second-place Milwaukee Bucks for this Eastern Conference clash in the NBA on Thursday. The upstart Pacers have been one of the surprises of the 2023/24 season with their record of five wins and three losses. Indiana’s most recent outing resulted in an excellent 134-118 home win over the Utah Jazz. It was the Pacers’s second straight win and third win on their current five game home stand. They’ll close out their lengthy run at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse with a matchup against one of the favorites for the NBA title in the Bucks. Indiana’s defining characteristic this season has been their high-octane offense. This team recently put up 152 points in this arena against the Spurs just a few days ago. They currently rank as the highest-scoring team in the NBA at 126.0 points per game on average. The hosts will have to deal with playing back-to-back games here as well as three in the past four days.
The Bucks have settled into a nice rhythm after taking a few games to settle. It was a summer of upheaval for Milwaukee who introduced a new head coach as well as the blockbuster trade to bring Damian Lillard into the team. They started the season out with two wins and two losses before most recently winning their last three on the bounce. Milwaukee’s last appearance was a 120-118 win over the Detroit Pistons last night. The victory lifted them to 5-2 on the season which now has them trailing the first-place 76ers by one game. While they have won their last three in a row, all three games were decided by a margin of five points or fewer. Like their opponents today, the visitors will also be playing on a back-to-back and their third game in the past four days.

Our Indiana Pacers vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
This will be a challenge for both teams as they battle the fatigue caused by back-to-backs. However, Indiana has a distinct advantage of eliminating travel fatigue as they will be playing their fifth straight at home. That means that the Pacers players have the consistency of a regular schedule, sleeping in their own beds and the rhythm of winning in their own arena. The Bucks, meanwhile, have swapped home and away games over the last week and this will be their second away game in the last four days. With the Pacers also playing great ball at the moment, they should be able to cover this number. Our Indiana Pacers vs Milwaukee Bucks prediction is for the Pacers on the +4 spread.
