Bucks vs Pacers Prediction

The Bucks are coming into this game as a 3 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bucks have been playing really well in their recent games and they need to start making up some ground after a bad start to the season and a run they went through with some injuries. The Pacers have not been playing as well as the Bucks have been and they are not going to be able to keep up with Giannis and his crew in this game. The best bet to place in this game is on the Bucks to cover the spread here.
