Bucks and Pacers Face Off in Pivotal Eastern Conference Matchup

Milwaukee and Indiana vie for playoff positioning as both teams aim to end losing streaks in tonight's game.

The Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers, separated by just one game in the standings, meet tonight in Indianapolis at 7:30 p.m. ET on TNT.
The Bucks lead the season series 2-0 and can secure a crucial playoff tiebreaker with a win in this third of four matchups between the teams.
Both teams are coming off losing streaks, with the Bucks dropping their last two games and the Pacers losing three straight, including a blowout loss to the Bulls on Monday.
Key players, including Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, and Indiana's Tyrese Haliburton, are expected to play after recent injury concerns.
The Pacers have been strong offensively in 2025, boasting the NBA's fifth-best offensive rating since January, while Milwaukee excels in three-point shooting, ranking third league-wide.
