BETTING STRATEGY
The Pacers have covered the spread in four of their last five games against Eastern Conference foes but this is more of a fade of Milwaukee than backing Indiana. The Bucks are 2-5 against the spread in their last seven games coming off a loss, are 3-10 against the number in their last 13 games playing on one day of rest, and are just 1-5 at the betting window in their last six games overall.
