The teams split their first two meetings, including a 120-116 win for Milwaukee on Dec. 31 when the Pacers couldn't overcome Khris Middleton's 33-point outburst and the Bucks shot 58.4 percent overall. Don't expect a repeat of that performance by the Bucks, who have lost two of their last three games, but come off a 128-121 win over Houston on Monday. Giannis Antetokounmpo had a triple-double and Jabari Parker scored 36 points for Milwaukee and Middleton added 30 points. Indiana looks to snap a three-game losing streak after a 100-96 loss at Cleveland. Monta Ellis scored 28 points and Paul George contributed 23 points and eight rebounds. The Pacers are 5-2 ATS after a loss and the Bucks are 2-5 ATS after an ATS win. Look for Indiana to avenge its last loss to the Bucks and play the Pacers as a small favorite.
