[ASFN Admin]

On Tuesday evening, the first-round series between the Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers will return to Gainbridge Fieldhouse, giving the Pacers a chance to advance in front of their home crowd.

With Damian Lillard ruled out with an Achilles tear, the Pacers will hope to get back to their Game 1 and 4 dominance. They are certainly the favorites, with the betting lines being the widest they have been all series.

While the main storyline of this series has been if Giannis Antetokounmpo will demand a trade or not, an overlooked fact is simply that Indiana has established itself as a title contender with their dominance.

For the second season in a row, the Pacers look poised to beat the Bucks. This will be the third first-round exit for the Bucks in a row, and no one in Milwaukee is safe. The Greek Freak has possibly the best season of his career, and poor coaching and roster construction have kept him out of contention for the last few seasons.
