Analysis

The Bucks have lost Lillard and the team’s motivation is all over the place. The Pacers have looked like the best team in the series and they should finish off the series with a win here. The Bucks are 0-4 against the spread going back three seasons when trailing in a playoff series and they are 0-1 against the spread when facing elimination in a playoff series over the last several seasons. The Bucks are also off a bad blowout loss of more than 20 points and they don’t respond well in their next game as they are 1-8 against the spread on the road over the last three seasons. The Pacers are 3-0 against the spread when leading in a playoff series and 1-0 against the spread at home when closing out a series over the last three seasons. Best bet: lay the points with Indiana.
