Indiana Pacers season so far
The Indiana Pacers have been struggling throughout this season as they have consistently been at the bottom of the eastern conference. But the team has improved in the past few games. In their last match, the Pacers clinically defeated the Toronto Raptors 114 – 97 with Caris Levert leading the charge.
Levert scored 19 points and went 3-for-5 from beyond the arc while logging a season-high 34 minutes. Alongside Caris, seven players reached double figures and three collected double-doubles in the win. The Pacers are finally coming together and promise to give the in-form Cream City a tough fight.

Milwaukee Bucks season so far
Milwaukee has been on a tear with a six-game winning streak. After a slow start, the Bucks have found their rhythm as many players returned after injuries. Cream City has also been a great three-point shooting team as they rank fourth in the league in 3-point attempts, hoisting over 40 per game, and fifth in 3-point percentage (.367).

Milwaukee Bucks vs Indiana Pacers Match Prediction
Like their last meeting, Milwaukee is favourites to win this game. Yes, the Indiana Pacers are getting back in their grove with Caris Levert returning to form but they still don’t have an answer for the Greek Freak. With Giannis being on track to possibly win his third MVP, the Bucks are most likely to win this game.
