Milwaukee Bucks vs. Indiana Pacers preview
The Bucks kept their first-round playoff hopes alive on Friday night, riding a historic shooting performance from Gary Trent Jr. and another dominant showing from Giannis Antetokounmpo to cut Indiana's series lead to 2-1.
Milwaukee's home court has proven decisive in this series, with the host team winning all three games—a trend the Bucks hope continues as they look to even things up on Sunday night.
After struggling in his first two games back from injury, all eyes will be on Damian Lillard's performance, as his shooting touch could prove the difference-maker in what's become a compelling Eastern Conference battle.
The Pacers, who shot an uncharacteristic 31.7% from beyond the arc in Game 3, will need Pascal Siakam to continue his efficient scoring while hoping Tyrese Haliburton can regain his playmaking magic at Fiserv Forum.
With Bennedict Mathurin's status uncertain due to an abdominal contusion, Indiana might face an uphill battle against a Milwaukee squad that hasn't lost at home in their last five outings.
