The Pacers haven’t been out on the road since Jan. 26, and although they won only once on their five-game road swing, that victory came in Oklahoma City in a game that was personal. They then won two of four at home, defeating the Bulls and Hawks before falling to the Rockets and Jazz.

Indiana made a bigger splash at the trade deadline than the Milwaukee Bucks did, adding center Ivica Zubac from the L.A. Clippers via trade for Bennedict Mathurin and a couple first round picks. The Bucks were winners in keeping Giannis Antetokounmpo for at least another few months, opting not to move him despite various offers.

The Pacers are back in the Eastern Conference basement and haven’t been able to muster much in Tyrese Haliburton’s absence. The Bucks are the No. 12 team in the East and have a 6-4 mark against Central Division opposition. Indiana is 3-8 against the rest of the division. Milwaukee is 11-12 at home, while the Pacers are an abysmal 3-20 in opposing arenas.

The Indiana Pacers (13-38) visit the Milwaukee Bucks (20-29) looking to get on the board in February in their first road game of the month.
