Pacers 2024 Playoff Schedule: Every playoff game (updated)
By Lior Lampert
After being one of the more surprising success stories of the 2023-24 NBA season and earning the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference, All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers are now in a position to potentially pull off an upset against the Milwaukee Bucks, especially when factoring in the health of two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Alarm bells in Milwaukee have officially been sounded ahead of Game 1 versus the Pacers, with Antetokounmpo's status in jeopardy for the Bucks due to the left calf strain he suffered on Apr. 9 against the Boston Celtics. But regardless of his availability, Indiana had their number during the regular season, taking four of their five head-to-head matchups.
After leading the NBA in assists per game (10.9) and guiding the Pacers to their most successful campaign since 2018-19 (47-35), Haliburton is experiencing his first taste of postseason action. Now, he will need to prove Indiana is here to stay.
