The Gold Sheet
(511) Indiana Pacers at (512) Milwaukee Bucks
Indiana is looking to use its red laser pen from Men In Black to erase the memory of Game 1. Milwaukee jumped out to a 20-point lead by the second quarter and never looked back. Giannis Antetokounmpo did not suit up for Game 1 and he is officially listed as doubtful for this one. Damian Lillard scored 35 points on 11-of-24 shooting as Patrick Beverly held Tyrese Haliburton in check with just nine points and eight assists. Pascal Siakam did all he could for the Pacers, pouring in 36 points as Indiana shot just 21-percent from three-point range. When most bettors think of the zig-zag theory, they look at how the point spread has moved for each game of a playoff series. It certainly feels like we're going to be looking more at the totals for these games, instead of the point spread. As a result of Sunday's low-scoring affair, tonight’s total has dropped all the way down to 223 points after closing 230 in Game 1. Indiana has only played in two games this season with a closing total below 225 points. Both teams were top-5 in the league in offensive efficiency this season, and we don't expect the Pacers to shoot 39-percent from the floor like they did in Game 1.
