Command Analysis

Indiana Pacers

Following the results of the regular NBA season, the Pacers took the fourth place in the Eastern Conference. Considering the competition, this result can be considered excellent.

We saw a tough fight and two overtimes, but the visitors did not give up and deservedly won (126:118). It is worth noting the young Indiana players who gave a celebration to the fans this evening.

Milwaukee Bucks

Current form
The Bucks were considered one of the contenders for the championship, but they failed to compete for the top 3, although the team gained momentum by the end of the season. The fifth place in the East fully reflects the current state of the team.
Milwaukee won eight in a row, but failed to catch up with the Pacers. The team is looking forward to the return of Damian Lillard, who, together with Yannis Adetokunbo, makes up the main striking force of the deer. The star point guard will miss the opening match of the playoffs, but the most important thing is that the recovery is going according to plan. The first game of the series against Indiana is ahead, according to the guests, it's worth preparing for a real fight.
Disqualifications and injuries
Damian Lillard and Jericho Sims will not play on the floor due to health problems.
Interesting facts for betting

1.87Tip and bets
Inidana is confident in her abilities, especially since the series begins with a home match. We will have to go out on the floor without Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakim, and these are serious losses. Of course, the support of the stands will be on the side of the hosts, but it is difficult to count on an optimal performance without a number of important players.
Milwaukee also has problems with the lineup, as Damian Lillard is injured, and he is the engine of a team that often takes the attention of the opponents' defense on itself, thereby giving Giannis Adetokunbo more space. The Bucks have been playing without a star point guard lately, so they're ready to take a hit to a certain extent. In our opinion, the deer will give battle to the pacers.
Our prediction is that Milwaukee will win with a handicap of (+6.5) points in 1.78
Bet on the total
Indiana often relies on defense, and given the problems in the lineup, it most likely will be. Milwaukee has made a good run, but a few days of rest before the playoffs may slow things down. We expect that the total will not be broken in the first match of the series.
Betting Tip - total less than 227 points in 1.67
Betting on statistics
It seems that we will see a lot of fighting, and entertainment will fade into the background. Indiana will enter the game without Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam, so it is unlikely to show its maximum. We assume that the hosts will not break through the individual total.
Prediction – Indiana's individual total is less than 115.5 points per 1.84
