After a thrilling overtime game in the third game of this series earlier this week, the Milwaukee Bucks will play the second of two games on the road in Indianapolis against the Pacers here on Sunday night. It was the Indiana Pacers that came out on top and the third game of the series thanks to a floater by Tyrese Halliburton at the end of overtime to seal the deal for Indiana. However, it is worth noting the game never would’ve gotten This overtime if Khris Middleton didn’t put up a miracle at the end of regulation to tie the game up for Milwaukee.
These two teams traded big shots back-and-forth throughout the third game of the series and they will look to replicate those performances throughout game number four on Sunday night. At the moment, it is looking rather bleak for the Milwaukee Bucks, as they will potentially be without both Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo for the fourth game of this series here on Sunday night. If that ends up being the case, the Indiana Pacers will come into this game with a massive advantage and the opportunity to put Milwaukee on the brink of elimination with their third victory in the first four games of the series.

History Between These Two Teams Given that these two teams share the Central division together, they have had plenty of matchups throughout the regular season and now the postseason as well. Which means these two teams are very familiar with each other coming into the fourth game of this round series of the postseason. They have seen each other numerous times on the court, and they have plenty of film on each other as well.
Which means we should see another close and competitive matchup between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Indiana Pacers here on Sunday night in Indianapolis. This will be the ninth meeting of the season between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Indiana Pacers, as they met five times throughout the regular season and through the first three games of this series as well. Indiana has played Milwaukee tough all season long winning six out of eight games against the Milwaukee Bucks so far this season.
They are undefeated against them in Indianapolis and they seem to have a distinct advantage when playing in front of their home crowd. That is certainly something to watch throughout this game on Sunday night. They should have an even bigger advantage without both of Milwaukee’s superstars in the lineup. Meanwhile, Indiana has struggled on the road against the Milwaukee Bucks, which means they will need to take advantage of this game on Sunday night and pick up the extra victory while they have the opportunity to do so.
Today’s Predictions Khris Middleton had an incredible performance in game number three of this series earlier this week. However, it was still not enough to overcome Tyrese Halliburton, Pascal Siakam, and the Indiana Pacers. This time around in the fourth game of the series on Sunday night, he will need to post an even better performance without the other two players in their big three likely available for this contest as they are both dealing with muscle injuries coming into this one. That means even more pressure will be on Middleton throughout this game, as they look to get the job done and even up the series before heading back home for game five.
Pascal Siakam was the driving force behind the success of the Indiana Pacers in their previous victory, as he had his way with the Milwaukee Bucks and was getting to the rim with ease throughout the game. That is something he will look to replicate throughout this game on Sunday night, as Indiana looks to take a commanding 3-1 heading back to Milwaukee for game five of the series later this week. This is a pivotal game in the series as the winner of this one would have all the momentum heading into the final three games.
If Milwaukee can pull out the upset win without Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Damian Lillard would put them in a good position one or both of them potentially get healthy for the remaining run of this series. That is exactly what I expect out of this game as I look for the Indiana Pacers to pick up the victory over the Milwaukee Bucks here on Sunday night and the fourth game of this series. Not only do I look for the Pacers to pick up the victory, but I also expect them to cover the spread as they take a three to one lead heading back to Milwaukee for game five.
Tips For Betting The Indiana Pacers are undefeated in three opportunities against the Milwaukee Bucks at home this season. All three victories have been close and competitive matchups, but all three of those games included at least one superstar for the Milwaukee Bucks in the lineup. The Milwaukee Bucks have been somewhat respectable without Giannis Antetokounmpo in the lineup as they have lost five out of nine games. However, in games when they are without Damian Lillard, they have lost eight out of nine, which is even more of a problem for Milwaukee coming into this game on Sunday night on the road in Indiana.
