The Pacers and Bucks will face off in a Central Division battle on Thursday night (8 p.m. ET, TNT).
The Bucks are coming off consecutive losses to the Jazz and Suns, which marks their first losing streak of the season. Giannis Antetokounmpo still managed to keep his MVP campaign on track, averaging 32.0 points, 13.5 rebounds, 7.0 assists and 2.5 steals in those two games. Milwaukee currently sits atop the Eastern Conference with a 48-16 record, including an impressive 12-1 record within the Central Division.
With a run to the NBA Finals in mind, Milwaukee has been cautious with Antetokounmpo's knee soreness. He was sidelined against the Bulls and put on a minutes restriction against the Kings; he participated fully against the Lakers and Jazz but was listed as questionable both nights.
The Pacers are trailing behind the Bucks in the Central Division standings with a 42-23 record. They are coming off a 105-96 win over the Bulls after dropping three of their previous four games. Bojan Bogdanovic had 27 points and six rebounds against Chicago, leading Indiana to a crucial victory with the 76ers (41-23) hoping to take the No. 3 seed away from the Pacers.
Indiana will be without Domantas Sabonis, who is expected to miss at least two more games with an ankle injury. Sabonis leads the Pacers in rebounding, averaging 9.3 boards per game.
