Milwaukee Bucks vs Indiana Pacers Prediction

The Pacers are keeping an eye on Jarace Walker and Ben Sheppard, while the Bucks are still missing Khris Middleton. The Pacers just haven’t been able to build any momentum this season, and you can’t help but point some of the blame at Haliburton, who has really struggled of late. In contrast, the Bucks are starting to play some good basketball after a slow start to the season, and I think they represent decent value as the slight home favorite.
