My Prediction
Milwaukee Bucks by 3Ah, just what you need on a Monday: Another Milwaukee Bucks vs Indiana Pacers game. Let's lock in on a few specifics, shall we?
Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Greek Freak and Milwaukee's show-stopper, has been producing some world-beating numbers of late. We're talking an average of 32.6 points and 11.8 rebounds per game in the last month. Add Damian Lillard's impressive performance from the shadows, dishing up around 25 points a game and you'd think the Bucks would have the upper hand here... but wait, there's more.
On the Pacers' side, it's not quite all doom and gloom. Tyrese Haliburton has been cooking up a storm, with 18.3 points and 8.5 assists per game for the last month. Pascal Siakam has been contributing a healthy number of points and rebounds, though let's face it, his output seems like kid stuff against Giannis' monster stats.
Taking a look at their history, these two teams have had quite the dance off. It's been a back-and-forth affair, with no one managing to hold the upper hand for long, and that sure is keeping things interesting now.
Now, don't hold it against me, but the Bucks are currently sitting in 6th in the Eastern Conference and despite a few recent losses - that rude awakening from Cleveland! - they still have a slight advantage over the Pacers, who are trailing at the 8th position.
Consider their recent results: the Bucks had a bit of a stumble against the Bulls and Nets, while the Pacers managed to scrape a win against the Celtics. But let's remember folks, one win does not a championship make.
So, bringing it all together into one delicious prediction stew, here's how it shakes out.
