Pacers at Bucks picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 128, Pacers 125

Moneyline

Unless you believe the Pacers can extend their record to 3-0 against the Bucks (-250) this season, I'll PASS on the ML in this matchup.

Against the spread

BET PACERS +6.5 (-110).

The Pacers are 2-0 against the Bucks this season, and Milwaukee hasn't shown it is capable of blowing out anyone as it adjusts to life with G Damian Lillard. Indiana is also 13-8 ATS overall and 5-3 ATS on the road.

Milwaukee is 9-13-1 ATS overall and 4-7-1 ATS at home this season.

Over/Under

While this should be an exhilarating up-and-down game between 2 fast-paced teams, UNDER 258.5 (-110) is the lean here. The total was set at 257.5 in the last meeting, and the Under hit in a 128-119 victory for the Pacers.

Even though both teams are top 5 in pace, this is a massive total and we'll hope that either team plays just a little bit of defense down the stretch. Both meetings thus far have had 250 or fewer points scored.
