Giannis Antetokounmpo is leading the Milwaukee Bucks and is the league’s second-leading scorer with an average of 34.2 points per game. In five games that he has played, Antetokounmpo has shot 68.4% from the field and 62.5% from the three-point range. Except for the last game, he has scored 30+ points in all games in the ongoing season. Facing an injury-riddled Indiana, logging over 32.5 points for the Bucks’ star doesn’t look like a task.
Pascal Siakam has been carrying the load for the Indiana Pacers’ offense in the absence of Tyrese Haliburton, posting an average of 25.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game. He is shooting 54.8% from the field and 50.0% from the arc. In the game against the Warriors, he torched 27 points with five boards. Considering the Bucks’ defensive rating of 114.8, as well as the Pacers’ home-court advantage, we can expect Siakam to easily cross the 23.5-point mark.
Both Pacers and Bucks have trended towards efficient yet slow scoring lately. While the Pacers have dipped below the 120-point mark significantly since the beginning of the season and have been scoring 110 points or less in the last five games, the Bucks have had only a couple of games with 125+ points. Moreover, the Pacers’ league-worst 3P% and FG% at 31.0% and 40.2%, respectively, along with notable absentees have been keeping them restricted from posting high-scoring games. On the other hand, the Bucks score 123.7 points on average in the 2025-26 season. These factors point to a close battle on Monday staying under 235.5 points.
The Indiana Pacers entered the 2025-26 season as reigning finalists, hoping to narrow the previous gap and dominate the league right from the beginning. However, an extensive injury report paralyzed them and they had evident struggles to even find their first win of the season. Finally, they opened their victory account by handing over an upset to the Golden State Warriors. However, their offensive rating as well as rating make them one of the bottom-placed teams.
On the other hand, the Milwaukee Bucks have had a strong start to the season. In the last six games, they recorded four wins and suffered two losses. As far as the other factors are considered, the Bucks’ FG%, 3P%, offensive rating as well as the net rating place them far above the Pacers on the standings. In the upcoming game, the Pacers will be confident owing to their recent win as well as home advantage could push them, but the Bucks’ momentum and overall depth should overwhelm them in the upcoming low-scoring affair.
