Milwaukee Bucks at Indiana Pacers Prediction
Very simply wins here are of the essence for the Indiana Pacers as the Eastern Conference has been a snake’s den for most of the 2016-17 season. With just a handful games remaining on the regular season docket for both these teams, it is possible for Milwaukee to fall out of the playoffs even if they are a five seed at the moment as a win for Indiana puts them within a game of the Deers. The same holds true for Chicago, Atlanta and Miami who are all battling for positioning and survival. Indiana is the sixth-ranked three point shooting team in the NBA and they are ranked eighth overall in lowering opponent shooting proficiency. Much of these accolades are fostered in Indianapolis. Look for home cooking to power the Pacers to a much needed win. Milwaukee with points given their recent dominance appears as a deceptively good dish. Often when it seems too good to be true, it most certainly is.
Free Pick:
Take Indiana -4.5 (-115)
