NBA Betting Pick and Prediction: Milwaukee Bucks vs. Indiana Pacers

November 9, 2023


The Milwaukee Bucks hit the road for a brief two-game trek as they will battle the Indiana Pacers on Thursday night inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. They jump it up at 7:00 pm on a very light night in the league. There is only one other game slated for action Thursday night. 

Mybookie has installed the Bucks as a -4 point favorite. 

Milwaukee Bucks Betting Preview 

The Bucks (5-2) have won three straight games, including a thrilling 120-118 win over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night. 

Milwaukee is led by the all-world player in Giannis Antetokounmpo who is averaging xx points per contest. He is the face of the franchise and has been playing like it throughout the course of his great career. He netted 15 in the win, while Damian Lillard exploded for a team-high 34 in the triumph. 

Milwaukee has some solid odds to make it out of the Eastern Conference and maybe believe they will be able to lock up another Central Division title. Their odds to win the division sit at -275 and they have the depth and the talent to win it for the second straight season. 

They will be a playoff team and if they can make a deep run into the playoffs it will be because of the added depth along with newcomer Lilliard. Antetokounmpo is the face of the team and he will carry them, but now he has a ton of help to get him that second title. 

Indiana Pacers Betting Preview

The Pacers (5-3) are a team that has some nice players and they have shown over the last couple of seasons that they can play up to the level of their opponent even though they won only 35 games last season they did hang around late in many of those loses. 

Indiana is led by Tyrese Haliburton who is averaging a career-high 24 points early on this season and he is also playing solid defense too. He hauls down four rebounds per contest but loves to get his players into the mix as he dishes out 11 assists per game. 

Center Myles Turner can be the difference in this game, as he enters the contest scoring around 16 a game while crashing the boards to the tune of nine rebounds per contest. They will also look to get shooting guard and veteran Buddy Hield into the mix as well, as he is known to knock down open shots from three-point land. 

If they can contain Lillard and put more pressure on others they have a shot at winning this game.
