The current betting odds have the Bucks listed as an 11 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bucks have a 54-21 record overall this season making them the best team in the East and in the entire NBA at the moment. They have been on fire lately too and have been a really good road team all year with their 24-14 road record. The Pacers have not been having a good season though with a losing 33-43 record overall. They have been a better home team this season with their 19-18 home record but they have been struggling lately with 3 losses in a row now and they are also dealing with a lot of injuries to some of their stars. The Bucks have been on a roll lately but they are still trying to lock down the number 1 seed in the East with the Celtics close behind them. The Bucks will continue to roll here against the Pacers who have been struggling a lot in their games. The best way to place a bet here is on the Bucks to cover the spread in this game.
