Indiana took the first game earlier this week between the two sides. The Pacers needed the win over the Bucks as they are fighting for playoff positioning.

This game will now see the scene shift over to Milwaukee so the Pacers will need to make sure that they bring their complete focus. The Bucks have been very good at home this season and they will be looking for some redemption in this matchup.

If the Pacers can grab another win, it could go a long way in seeding for the playoffs. The two teams are currently tied at 37-28 on the season so the winner will take over the No. 4 spot in the Eastern Conference standings.

The Pacers believe that they are the better team and they have had the number of Milwaukee in recent years. But with the Bucks' best players all likely being available for this game, it could cause some issues for Indiana.

Both sides will be fighting in this matchup so the Pacers will need to be ready to go. They can't afford to have any slow starts as the Bucks tend to feed off their crowd very well.

If the Pacers can silence the Milwaukee fanbase early on, it could end up being a good night for this team. Only time will tell where the Pacers will land in the playoff picture but getting home court for the first-round could be massive for Indiana.
