Yesterday’s Results for Milwaukee Bucks vs Indiana Pacers

VW'S NBA 1ST RND TOTAL OF THE YEAR (+2 BONUS)

Analysis: The Indiana Pacers got a little redemption for their Game 1 loss to the Bucks, convincingly defeating their Central Division rival 125-108 in Milwaukee on Tuesday. I expect the Pacers to bring that momentum into tonight's home clash for Game 3. Speaking of momentum, the Pacers faced the Bucks seven times already this season and walked away victorious while covering the spread in five of those meetings. Spelling even more bad news for Milwaukee is the fact Indiana has won four straight (3-1 against the spread), and five of its last six at home (4-2 ATS). Not to mention the fact it leads the NBA in scoring at 122.9 points per game while putting up an even better 125.5 ppg at home. The Bucks, on the other hand, have dropped eight of their last 10 on the road (3-7 ATS), and though they’re scoring a fourth-most 118.7 ppg on the year, they’ve mustered just 101.7 ppg over their last three outings. In a nutshell, Milwaukee looks lost without Giannis Antetokoumnpo, and if they’re not careful they’ll get bounced from the remainder of the postseason before he has a chance to return next month. The Pacers win and cover the spread as a home favorite here to take a 2-1 series lead.
