Bucks vs. Pacers Prediction and Odds: Back Milwaukee as Road Favorite

Giannis Antetokounmpo and the red-hot Milwaukee Bucks will hit the road on Sunday to face the Indiana Pacers. 

The Pacers are 9-12 on the season under new head coach Rick Carlisle, but they have come on as of late, winning three of the last four games. 

Here are the odds for the matchup between the defending champs and the Pacers via WynnBET:

Bucks vs. Pacers Prediction and Pick

On the season, these two teams are pretty evenly matched in key metrics as the Bucks are 14th in offensive rating and 12th in defensive rating while the Pacers are 15th and 13th in those same categories. 

However, Milwaukee was not healthy to open the year, missing Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton for significant stretches. The team is 6-0 since Middleton returned to the lineup against the Los Angeles Lakers on Nov. 17, and while the Pacers have won three of their last four, I’m backing Milwaukee in this spot. 

It is rare that you will find the defending champs as just a two-point favorite against a team below .500, and Milwaukee is 5-1 against the spread as a road favorite this season. 

Pick: Bucks -2.0 (-110)
