Analysis

The Pacers and Bucks series shifts to Indiana tied at one game a piece. The Pacers bounced back nicely in Game 2 after their abysmal shooting in Game 1. It's fair to say that the 39.6% shooting from the field and the 21.1% shooting from three point range were the outlier. In five regular season meetings between these two teams, the Pacers shot 48.2% from the field and 30.5% from beyond the arc while averaging 128.8 points in those five contests. In Game 2, Indiana shot a blazing 55.6% from the field and 44.4% from deep. While I don't think they will duplicate those numbers in Game 3, this is a Pacers team that still averages 125.5 points per game at home. The Bucks allow 118.2 points per game on the road this season. Indiana plays the second fastest pace in the NBA. Unless they have just an awful shooting night, I don't see them struggling to get to this total because the Bucks defense isn't anything special. Giannis Antetokounmpo is questionable for tonight, but I don't see his presence having much of an impact given the five regular season games. This line is moving and I think it's playable to 115 or 116.
