Milwaukee Bucks vs. Indiana Pacers Preview & Game Thread: A guaranteed win?
The Milwaukee Bucks full the second leg of their back-to-back at this time in opposition to the Indiana Pacers (or ought to I say “Tankers”). Yes, it is fairly clear what end result Indy desires at this time, so Milwaukee will simply have to play semi-competently, and they need to get throughout the road. The Bucks have gained all three video games within the season sequence to date, and may full the sweep at this time.
Where We’re At
The Bucks have now misplaced 4 straight and eight of their final 9, now 12 video games beneath .500. Down Giannis, yesterday’s recreation was a tire fireplace; it featured a season-high 23 turnovers, and as Van identified within the speedy recap, there was a 30-14 points-off-turnovers disparity. Just ugly stuff throughout. The season cannot finish rapidly sufficient.

As I alluded to, the Pacers—who had been made to position 1-4 and 10-30 protections on their first-round decide so as to purchase Ivica Zubac—have been doing every thing doable to present that decide the perfect probability of touchdown 1-4, shall we embrace. They haven’t gained a single recreation for the reason that All-Star break. Not one! I imply, this has been one of the vital shameless tank jobs I’ve ever seen. A marasse of phantom accidents, sicknesses, and unexplained substitution patterns. Maybe probably the most shameless has been how they’ve dealt with the aforementioned Zubac, who—earlier than he was traded—was taking part in for the LA Clippers. However, when he landed in Indy, he mysteriously popped up on the damage report with an “ankle injury,” which he has solely simply returned from. Hmmm.
Injury Report
Having performed yesterday, the Bucks’ damage report will come out at noon. Tyrese Haliburton and Johnny Furphy are out for Indy, whereas Pascal Siakam is uncertain. The following Pacers are questionable *clears throat*: Quenton Jackson, TJ McConnell, Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith, Ben Sheppard, Obi Toppin, and Ivica Zubac.
Player to Watch
Ryan Rollins has been a lot better during the last two video games, dropping 22 factors and eight assists (on 8/11 taking pictures) of their final one in opposition to Atlanta. Can he make it three straight superior video games?
