Milwaukee at Indiana

Both teams are hot coming into the playoffs as Milwaukee has won eight straight and Indiana has won seven of eight, including two victories over Cleveland in its past three games. The Pacers have won 13 of their past 15 home games and 14 of 17 overall. The Bucks will be without Damian Lillard in at least Game 1 as he recovers from a blood clot in his right calf. The Pacers feature Tyrese Haliburton, who averaged 20.6 points and 11 assists over the final 21 games while shooting 53.3 percent overall and 43.9 percent on 3-point tries. Indiana has a deep squad with Benedict Mathurin and T.J. McConnell providing scoring off the bench. The Pacers have seven scorers averaging double figures, led by Pascal Siakam with 20.2 points per game. All of this will be needed to offset the scoring of Giannis Antetokounmpo, who averages 30.4 points. Take the Pacers on the moneyline.
