Milwaukee Bucks

Giannis Antetokounmpo leads the Bucks on the road this evening. The two-time All-Star will need a valiant effort to pick up the road win. Especially against a team that boasts a 21-11 record at home. All in all the bucks come into this matchup sporting a 34-29 record that ranks them 3^rd in the Central Division. Moreover it ranks them 7^th in the conference. The Bucks currently have a 1-game lead over the 8^th-seeded Miami Heat. However, Milwaukee has a comfier 4-game lead over the 9^th-seeded Detroit Pistons. Clearly the Bucks have a bit of leeway in the conference. But they shouldn’t get too comfortable. Especially since a win against the Pacers this evening can certainly help the Bucks land a playoff spot.

So how well do these two teams matchup against each other? Thanks to Khris Middleton and Eric Bledsoe, Antetokounmpo’s Bucks rank 15^th in scoring. Nevertheless, they’ll be going up against the Pacers’ 12^th ranked offense and 10^th ranked defense. Since Milwaukee ranks 13^th in points allowed, it’s safe to say that Indiana has the all-around advantage this evening. Notwithstanding that advantage, the evening’s NBA betting online odds are giving the Bucks a fighting chance this evening.

Indiana Pacers

Behind Victor Oladipo’s All-Star season, the Pacers enter this evening’s matchup with a 36-27 record. Right now the Pacers rank 2^nd in the Central Division but 4^th in the Eastern Conference. While they’re not necessarily close to reaching the No. 1 spot, Indiana is pretty confident they’ll make this year’s playoffs. Unfortunately for the Pacers, Oladipo is their only player scoring more than 20 points per game. Bojan Bogdanovic and Myles Turner are 2^nd and 3^rd in scoring For Indiana respectively, but they’re only putting up around 14 points a pop. With that in mind, it’s looking like Indiana can expect another first round dismissal in the playoffs. That’s exactly what they’ve seen the last two years running.

As for tonight’s matchup, it’s clear Indiana has the upper hand. Not only do the Pacers enjoy a statistical advantage over the Bucks, they’ll be getting the home court advantage this evening as well. That said, NBA bettors can line up some nice parlay and picks off of tonight’s pairing.
