The Milwaukee Bucks are heading to Indiana to face the Indiana Pacers for the Friday night match-up on the NBA. It is going to be the 2nd time these two will be going head to head this season, they played each other 10 days earlier. Last time out, the Bucks drove their way to a relatively easy win at home, 132-119.
It looks like the Bucks will be repeating the same result as last time, as things for the Pacers are going south. However, it will be exciting to watch how the Bucks will be lining up for this game. The next couple of games will be a tough test for them going up against the best teams in the NBA. Let’s take a look at both teams going into this game.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is probable for the Milwaukee Bucks vs Indiana Pacers game tonight
Giannis featured in the last two games for the Milwaukee Bucks and did so by scoring the highest on the team. For tonight’s game, he is listed as day-to-day and is probable to make an appearance tonight. He is suffering from right knee soreness. He is averaging a team-high 31.0 points per game and 2nd in the league with 12.0 rebounds.
On the injury report for Friday vs Bucks: Myles Turner, Aaron Nesmith and Andrew Nembhard are each listed as questionable.

The Milwaukee Bucks will win tonight against the Indiana Pacers
It is going to be the Milwaukee Bucks night, as they are coming into the game with a 2-game win streak. This streak will be extended to 3 tonight. It is going to be a routine night for the Bucks as they will have relatively low chances to concede in defense, with the absence of Haliburton. Like time out against the Western Conference leaders, the Bucks secured a commanding win.
However, the Pacers cannot be written off completely. The Pacers have caused massive upsets this season going up against the big teams. There is more than a better chance the Bucks will win, but we could be in a treat for another upset. It is, however, unlikely to cause an upset, but we will get to know tonight. Let us know who you think will win tonight.
