The Indiana Pacers and the Milwaukee Bucks will get their Eastern Conference first-round series under way on Friday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
The Pacers secured home court advantage in the first round after finishing with a 50-32 record in the regular-season. Tyrese Halliburton remains the engine that runs the Pacers offense, but players like All-Star Pascal Siakam, Benedict Mathurin and Andrew Nembhart can step up and take over a game anytime.
The Bucks wound up with the fifth best record (48-34) in the East in the second year of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard’s partnership in Milwaukee. Lillard has been ruled out for Game 1 but could be back at some point in the series because he was already cleared from taking blood clot medication. Antetokounmpo, who averages 30.4 points and 11.9 rebounds this season, will have to put in superhuman efforts every game to give his team a chance in this series.

Our Milwaukee Bucks vs Indiana Pacers Prediction
The Bucks defeated the Pacers 3 out of 4 meetings in the regular season. Milwaukee will also be motivated to get revenge in the series since the Pacers eliminated them in last year’s playoffs. Now 100 percent healthy, Giannis Antetokounmpo is expected to put up monster numbers starting in Game 1 on Saturday. The Pacers have several solid big men like Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner, but none can stop the Greek Freak when he’s in beast mode. Brace up for a scintillating series-opener as the Bucks and Pacers dice up in Indiana. The Pacers would try their best to protect their home court, but Giannis would be too unstoppable for anybody on the other end. Our betting prediction for Indiana Pacers vs. Milwaukee Bucks: Bucks will win.
