Surprisingly, this matchup is only the third time these two division rivals have faced off in the playoffs, and it’s particularly notable as it’s their first postseason encounter in 24 years.

The betting landscape appears favorable for this opening game, with balanced action providing a profitable outlook for bookmakers, irrespective of the final spread.

A key factor in this series is the fitness of Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks have struggled this season, often disappointing their supporters due to high expectations, inconsistent coaching, and team chemistry issues. A loss in this first round would be a significant setback for the Bucks and their fans.

Meanwhile, the dynamic Pacers have been a smart choice for astute bettors throughout the season. However, it seems that some may be cautiously shifting their bets towards Milwaukee as this series begins (no need to worry; we can track these trends).

It's worth noting that Indiana has a strong record against Milwaukee this season, holding a 4–1 SU and ATS advantage. Their last meeting on January 3, 2024, saw Indiana triumph with a score of 142–130.

As game one approaches, Indiana is currently slight favorites by 1 point.

Enjoy the game!
