Milwaukee Bucks
USACurrent form
Milwaukee in the first game of the series, despite Giannis Adetokunbo's 36 points, the rest of the Bucks starting players scored only 14 points. Torin Prince and Kyle Kuzma did not register in the points column at all, and Ryan Rollins (two out of eight from the game) frankly failed. This is the main problem of the Bucks — the bench looks better than the start.
A.J. Green was the second most productive player with 15 points. Gary Trent and Kevin Porter scored 27 together, but against the backdrop of the Pacers' defeat, it no longer mattered. Doc Rivers' team (48 wins and 34 losses) finished in fifth place in the East at the end of the regular season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Damien Lillard has almost finally healed his calf injury and can take part in the second match of the series. In the announcement of the meeting, the 34-year-old point guard's status changed from injured to questionable. Lillard last went out on the floor in mid-March.

1.88Tip and bets
Milwaukee was like a ship without a rudder in the first game.: Giannis dragged, but without Lillard, it was like fighting a shadow. Indiana is a team that knows what it wants. Siakam, Haliburton, Turner — they have so many attacking trump cards that the Bucks are just drowning. Plus, last year's conference finals added confidence to the Pacers. If Lillard comes out, it will be more interesting, but Indiana at home, with the stands screaming themselves hoarse, will crush again. Carlisle will set up the guys, and they will win confidently, without unnecessary nerves.
Our betting tip is that Indiana will win with a handicap of (-5.5) points, taking into account overtime in 2.02
Bet on the total
The first game yielded only 215 points — the Pacers strangled the Bucks defensively and led 67:43 by halftime, so the attack didn't have to give their best. But in the second match, we expect more fire: Milwaukee and Lillard (if he comes out) will score over a hundred, and Indiana is already throwing at the level. Total will break through the top bar — this is the playoffs, but with courage.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 231.5 points, including overtime in 2.05
The bet on the player
Haliburton handed out 12 assists in the first match, although the shot did not go well (three out of 13). As a playmaker, he is like a Swiss watch, and in the second match he will conduct again. The Olympic champion of Paris knows how to turn on an audience, so we are waiting for a lot of broadcasts from him.
Our betting tip is a total more than Haliburton 12.5 assists per 1.98
