*NBA(1u): Pacers -2(-110) @ Bucks–7:10 PM CT
You might wonder why the defending champs are home underdogs to a 12-17 team; simply put, Giannis is OUT tonight, and Khris Middleton is expected to follow. Beyond that, however, this is a double revenge game for Indiana(lost twice to Milwaukee this season). The Pacers had won 3 straight games(all by at least 6 points) until they matched up with the 23-5 Warriors the other night; although they lost that game by 2, they were in it all the way up until the end and probably should’ve won that game. Either way, this Pacers group had a successful home stand and are starting to come together under 1st year HC Rick Carlisle. The Bucks are coming off a 4 game road trip and will head right back on a plane to New Orleans after tonight’s game. Oh, did I mention they were without Giannis tonight? This spot and line screams Indiana.
