Indiana Pacers vs Milwaukee Bucks prediction

The Milwaukee Bucks look like a team that’s starting to put things together, and they should win here if they keep taking steps in the right direction. However, the Indiana Pacers are the best scoring team in the league with the best field goal percentage and the Bucks defense is 24th in points allowed. The Pacers beat the Bucks last month while scoring 126 points. The Pacers are also a young team and most of the guys have yet to cash in on big NBA contracts. This money would mean a lot to the Pacers, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence players were going nuts against the Celtics. Motivation is on the Pacers side. Give me the points with Indiana.
