In their second home game of the new season, Indiana will try to surprise the reigning champions from Milwaukee. Rick Carlisle’s team plays very entertaining and productive basketball, but we can’t call it effective. The game against the Bucks starts at 00:00 UK time.
Possible line-ups for the match:
Indiana Pacers:
G – Malcolm Brogdon; G – Chris Duarte; F – Justin Holiday; F – Domantas Sabonis; C – Myles Turner.
Milwaukee Bucks:
G – Jrue Holiday; G – Grayson Allen; F – Khris Middleton; F – Giannis Antetokounmpo; C – Brook Lopez.
Indiana Pacers:
The Pacers didn’t make any huge transfers but decided to bet on the core of the team. The only thing worth mentioning is the fact that Ricky Carlyle took over the team and will try to take his team to the next level.
getting locked in for tonight.
Since the start of the season, Indiana played three games and the club lost to Charlotte (122-123) and Washington (134-135). Already in the last meeting, the Pacers broke through as they beat Miami (102-91). The rivals did not decide the winner in regular time, but Chris Duarte and company took it to the wire in overtime.
Milwaukee Bucks:
The reigning champion is trying to keep the bar high. The team is once again among the contenders for the gold medals, but, as practice shows, repeating last year’s achievement will be extremely difficult, especially since the competition is growing.

— Milwaukee Bucks (@Bucks)
Milwaukee started the regular season with a 127-104 win over Brooklyn, a 95-137 loss to Miami and a 121-111 win over San Antonio. The Bucks have been good in their head-to-head games against Indiana, so the bookmakers favored the visitors, although there was still a fight to be had.
Indiana Pacers vs Milwaukee Bucks statistics:
The Bucks have won in four of their last five head-to-head games by rebounds. However, now they have serious squad problems, so we can consider a bet on the Pacers on rebounds.
Indiana had 34 three-point attempts per game at the end of last season on average. In the two games of the new season, this figure was 40.5. It is too early to talk about the trend, but we can take a risk and take a total of three-point shots for Milwaukee, more than 35.5.
Indiana Pacers vs Milwaukee Bucks Tips:
Indiana has some lineup issues, as they only had seven players in game one and ten in game two. Still, Carlisle’s team will go into the game against the Bucks after a day off, so with the support of the fans in the home stadium, they could very well produce another good game. They have won two regular-season games by rebounds, so we try a bet on Indiana Pacers by rebounds.
You can bet on the event that Pacers players will have more rebounds.
Milwaukee is clearly lacking a bench because in the game against the Miami Heat center was forced to play Giannis. Ten players were involved in the game, but half of them were bench players. It remains to be seen if Holiday, Lopez, and Portis will be able to play. Indiana has Sabonis and Turner, which could make the visitors’ scoring more difficult. We can bet on the event that Milwaukee’s total points will be less than 120.5.
Our second prediction is individual total points of Bucks under 120.5 with the odds of 1.94 with the VBet bookmaker.
