With Giannis Antetokounmpo likely out again and the series shifting to Indiana, can the Bucks upset the Pacers in Game 3?
The Pacers looked more like themselves against the Bucks in Game 2, bouncing back with a 125-108 victory to tie the series at one game apiece.
Indiana is outrebounding Milwaukee 95-87 despite finishing just 28th in that category during the regular season. Lopez often picks up Siakam on the perimeter, pulling him further away from the basket and decreasing his opportunities to collect rebounds. If Antetokounmpo were healthy, he’d generally be the player tasked with defending Siakam, allowing Lopez to drop inside and protect the rim.

You’re obviously in a much better position when you can double your 3-point makes and 3-point shooting percentage.
Lopez was the Bucks’ second-leading scorer with 22 points, but Indiana is probably okay with that tradeoff if it means he’ll have less of an impact defensively. As for the spread, the Pacers are 5.5-point favorites, which is more than I’d like to lay in a playoff game. Instead, I prefer to slash that number by targeting Indiana on the first-half line of -2.5 at
