Milwaukee Bucks vs Indiana Pacers: NBA Game Preview

We’ve got a fun one this Saturday night as the Indiana Pacers host the Milwaukee Bucks. At the time of publication, both sides are enjoying a strong start to the season with 7 wins each.

Let’s take a closer look at where the value is at in this matchup.

Key Points to Consider

Momentum: Indiana comes home for the second night of a back-to-back following a road matchup vs Houston on Friday. Heading into Friday’s matchup, though, the Pacers have won four straight after dropping an OT battle vs Charlotte on Nov. 5.

Ballin’ Out: This will be Malcolm Brogdon’s first game against his former team since signing with the Pacers this offseason. He’s easily having the best year of his career so far, averaging 20.7 points, 8.5 assists and 5.3 rebounds in 33 minutes of action per game. While those numbers should rightfully drop off once Victor Oladipo comes back, fans and fantasy owners alike are enjoying the start of the season.

Greek Freak: At the time of publication — prior to Thursday night’s matchup between the Bucks and Bulls — Giannis Antetokounmpo has five straight games of scoring at least 30 points and grabbing at least 13 rebounds. He’s somehow playing better than he did last year, when he was the league MVP.

Projected Leaders

Giannis Antetokounmpo is projected to lead Milwaukee with 29 points on 54% shooting, 11 rebounds, 7 assists, 1-2 blocks and 1 steal.

Malcolm Brogdon is projected to lead Indiana with 21 points on 50% shooting, 8 assists, 5 rebounds and 1 steal.

Analyst’s Pick

Milwaukee to win, but Indiana keeps it close. Pick Indiana to cover if you’re getting 4+ points.

Average margin of victory in sims is Milwaukee +3.9 points.
