Milwaukee Bucks vs Indiana Pacers Match Preview

Resurgence or a one-off

The Bucks thumped the Pacers by 16 points in Game 3 in what was an incredible second-half comeback. The Pacers built a first-half 10-point lead. However, Milwaukee compiled a 39-18 advantage in the third quarter, which put the game in their grasp. The team extended their advantage by a 5-point lead in the final quarter.

Giannis Antetokounmpo had another big night with 37 points, 12 rebounds, and 6 assists. But the biggest difference-maker was Gary Trent Jr. The guard started for the first time in the series with 37 points, nailing 9 three-pointers.

Pascal Siakam led the way for the Indiana Pacers with 28 points. Tyrese Haliburton nailed four triples en route to a 14-point and 10-assist performance. Aaron Nesmith scored 18 points, nailing four triples. So, there were some strong performances throughout the game.

But what does this win indicate? Antetokounmpo is carrying the load all by himself, which has kept them afloat. However, Gary Trent’s performance has rekindled their hopes of giving the fight back. Meanwhile, Damian Lillard is still struggling with blood clots and shot 2/12 in Game 4. So overall, Milwaukee can mount a comeback after an early beating.

Milwaukee Bucks vs Indiana Pacers Game 4 Prediction – NBA Betting Lines

Milwaukee has recovered its form in Game 3, thanks to Gary Trent’s unexpected explosion. The Pacers can mount a strong attack too, but will need to rediscover their mojo away from home against a much confident opponent.

Thus, Game 4 is a litmus test for both teams. However, I believe Milwaukee will come on top in this crucial battle on the back of Antetokounmpo’s heroics.

Safe Spread Pick: Pacers -3.5 for -125 at BetMGM
