The Milwaukee Bucks are looking to build on momentum after snapping a three-game losing streak with a win over the Los Angeles Lakers. With just over a month remaining in the regular season, Saturday’s matchup against the Indiana Pacers carries added significance for both teams in the tightly packed Eastern Conference standings.
Milwaukee improved to 8-4 since the All-Star break after a 126-106 home win over Los Angeles on Thursday night. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the way with 24 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists in just 30 minutes of action. The Bucks also received big performances from Brook Lopez, Kevin Porter Jr. and Damian Lillard in a well-rounded team effort.
Now the Bucks will turn their attention to a Pacers team they’ve already faced three times this season. Milwaukee holds a 2-1 edge in the season series, but Indiana has proven capable of hanging around in high-scoring matchups — including Tuesday’s dramatic win on Tyrese Haliburton’s game-winning four-point play.
