On Sunday evening, the Milwaukee Bucks will face off against the Indiana Pacers (on the road) for Game 4 of their first-round playoff series.

For the game, the Bucks will be without their best player, as two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo has been ruled out.

The All-Star forward has missed each of the six games, so this will be his seventh straight out of action.
