The Pacers are coming into this game with a 19-39 record overall and they are 6-22 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 7 of their last 8 games and are coming into this one on a 6 game losing streak after another loss in their last game. Their last win was against the Los Angeles Clippers while their 7 losses in that span came against the Dallas Mavericks, the Orlando Magic, the Chicago Bulls, the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Atlanta Hawks, the Cavaliers again, and the Minnesota Timberwolves in their last game. Oshae Brissett and Tyrese Haliburton both led the team in points in that game with 22 while Lance Stephenson was next on the team off the bench with 21 points. Haliburton led the team in assists in that game with 16 while Brissett led the team in rebounds with 13. They were 44.1% from the field, 28.9% from 3-point range, and 77.3% from the free throw line with their shooting in that game. Their offense is averaging 109.1 PPG and their defense is averaging their opponents to average 111.7 PPG against them. The Pacers have an ATS record of 26-30-2 this season and their O/U record is 32-26.

 

 

The Bucks are coming into this game with a 35-22 record overall and they are 19-9 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 4 of their last 5 games but are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game which snapped a 4 game winning streak that they were on. Their 4 wins in that span were against the Washington Wizards, the Portland Trail Blazers, the Los Angeles Clippers, and the Los Angeles Lakers while their loss came against the Phoenix Suns in their last game. They still have a game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday night that needs to be played first so this will be the 2nd leg of a back-to-back for them on Tuesday night. In their game against the Suns, Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday led the team in points in that game with 21 each while Giannis Antetokounmpo was next on the team with 18 points. Antetokounmpo led the team in assists in that game with 8 while Bobby Portis led the team in rebounds with 9. They were 45.5% from the field, 26.3% from 3-point range, and 68% from the free throw line with their shots in that game. Their offense is averaging 112.9 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 109.2 PPG against them. The Bucks have an ATS record of 26-31 this season and their O/U record is 27-30.

 

 

The Bucks are coming into this game with 4 wins in their last 5 games but they are coming off of a loss in their last game and that was a very bad loss for them. They lost their last game at home to the Suns by close to 30 points and the Bucks played that game on Thursday so they have been sitting on the loss for a few days. They will come out angry in this game as they have a string of games against some of the lesser teams in the NBA on their upcoming schedule so they will likely take advantage of this opportunity to win more games and boost their team in the standings. The Pacers have lost 6 straight games coming into this one and they just gave away most of their team at the trade deadline. Their last 2 losses were by single digits but they are going to be going up against a Bucks team that will be motivated to go on another roll and with the players that are left on this Pacers team, they will not be able to match up well against the Bucks here. The Bucks will win this game at home by close to 20 points.

"Against a team that had all their guys and is playing very well and is very talented we did some good things to hang around and give ourselves a chance in the fourth. There's some very positive things and some things that obviously need work. We're just running low on bodies now." - Rick Carlisle on his team’s loss against the Timberwolves on Sunday night.

 

 

"They came out and executed. We missed a couple of shots. Our defense, I know my defense personally starting in the third quarter was really bad, really bad. They came out and took care of business." - Jrue Holiday on their loss against the Suns on Thursday night.
