Milwaukee Bucks vs Indiana Pacers: Current situation
Milwaukee just ended a 3-game slide with a much needed win over the shorthanded Lakers. The win has kept the Bucks in 4th place of the Eastern Conference, however Indiana is only a half game back in the standings. Winning Saturday’s game would give the Bucks the regular season series tie breaker, so the importance of this game should not be underestimated.
Indiana has cooled off a bit lately winning just once in 4 games, but that win was against the Bucks earlier this week. Tyrese Haliburton’s injury slowed this team down a bit, but with him back in the line-up once again the Pacers are a force to be reckoned with. Their away form is worrying though, in 34 games so far they have just 16 wins, plus they’ve covered the spread only 15 times in those games.
Milwaukee Bucks Stats & Form
Milwaukee withstood Luka Doncic’s 45 point night as they got 20+ points from 4 different players to take down the LA Lakers 126-106 on Thursday. Putting in extra effort on the glass and distributing the ball evenly on offense were the two keys for the win. It was also good to see Damian Lillard go for 22 points, he has struggled a bit with his efficiency over the last 10 or so games.
Indiana Pacers Stats & Form
Prior to this game the Pacers have a match-up with the Philadelphia 76ers on the road the night before, so it’ll be interesting to see how they respond to playing two games in less than 24 hours. There is no room for relaxing, with less than 20 games to go every win counts as the Pacers continue their quest of catching the Bucks in the 4th seed.
Milwaukee Bucks vs Indiana Pacers: Head-to-Head
Milwaukee is up 2-1 in the regular season series, but Indiana is the team that won the most recent meeting between the teams. Saturday’s game will be the 215th regular season meeting all-time, the Bucks are in a comfortable lead with 117 to Indiana’s 97 wins. Backing the points has been a very profitable bet in this match-up, the over has cashed 7 times in 10 meetings.

Betting tip and prediction: Milwaukee Bucks vs Indiana Pacers (15.03.2025)
This game has the potential to be the biggest of the season for both teams. The number 4 seed in the East is very much on the line here, especially for Milwaukee because if they win they clinch the tie-breaker which would give them the edge in the standings if the two teams finished with identical records. Giannis Antetokounmpo has a habit of coming up big when it matters the most, I would argue aside from the NBA Cup Final which they won, this game is where the Bucks will need him to step up the most this year. Over the last 10 games the Greek Freak is averaging 27.5 points and 13 rebounds per game, against the Pacers those numbers go up to 36 points and 13 rebounds per game in the last 10 meetings head-to-head. The Pacers were lucky to escape with a win in the most recent meeting as Haliburton drained a go-ahead three-pointer while getting fouled with just seconds remaining. This being a 2nd night of a back-to-back scenario makes life really difficult for Indiana here. In 9 such games played this season the Pacers are just 3-6 SU, with their defensive rating dropping to 119.1 points allowed per 100 possessions. Rebounding is another area which the Bucks can take advantage of here. For the season the Pacers rank just 21st in opponent rebounds per game allowing 51 a night, but in their last 3 games that number has gone up to 58 per game. For comparison the worst team in the league Washington is allowing 56.7 per game this year. Giannis and co. should be able to take advantage of that here, so let’s back them to sweep the regular season series.
