Indiana Pacers face Milwaukee Bucks with a chance to advance to conference semifinals

Following a resounding win on the road over the weekend, the Indiana Pacers face the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 5 with a chance to eliminate the division rival and advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals for a second straight season on Tuesday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

The Pacers rebounded from a loss in Game 3 by blowing past the Bucks 129-103 as Tyrese Haliburton finished with 17 points and 15 assists to help take a commanding 3-1 series lead in Game 4. Myles Turner totaled a team-high 23 points and five rebounds in the blowout victory.

It was an impressive performance as Indiana shot 60.2 percent from the field and 46.2 percent from 3-point range. The Pacers compiled 50 points in the paint and 36 assists, while the Bucks fell completely flat in a must-win game with the season essentially on the line on their home floor.

Giannis Antetokounmpo will try to lead Milwaukee to a win and avoid elimination but Damian Lillard will be out after suffering a season-ending torn Achilles in Game 4. The Pacers are 8-point favorites with the over/under set at 222.5 total points in Game 5 per FanDuel Sportsbook.
