On April 29, two meetings are scheduled in the NBA playoffs, in one of which Indiana Pacers - Milwaukee Bucks will meet. The prediction for the matchup of these teams is made by Dailysports experts.
Indiana Pacers
Indiana looks not bad this season, the team with difficulty still finished in the top-6 of the conference, managing to beat Philadelphia only by extra points. The opponent is formidable, but Milwaukee is lucky to be playing without their leader, which the Pacers are taking full advantage of.
Heliburton, who made a triple-double in the last meeting, is in good shape now, and Siakam looks good as well. Even if the Bucks are not at their optimum, Indiana needs to make the most of their arena advantage. Only Canadian Mathuren will miss the upcoming game due to injury.
Milwaukee Bucks
The Bucks had their usual strong regular season, but in the end they relaxed so much that they lost their second place in the East and finished third. The team started the playoffs with a win, but then suffered two straight losses. Milwaukee played all playoff games without its main star Yannis Adetokunbo, so the club is at risk of being eliminated in the first round.
Much now depends on who will be on the floor, in the upcoming match is in doubt the participation of such key players as: Middleton, Adetokunbo and Lillard, without these guys there will be no chance.
