Game review
Milwaukee beat Indiana 110-102, with the game swinging after halftime as the Bucks put up 34 in the third and then pulled away with a 26-17 fourth. Indiana had built its edge earlier, but Milwaukee controlled the final two quarters.
Tyler Herro led Milwaukee with 23 points and 7 assists, while Kel’el Ware grabbed 14 rebounds. Tyrese Haliburton paced Indiana with 22 points and 9 assists, and Pascal Siakam added 13 rebounds. The Bucks’ rebounding advantage (61-48) and better free-throw shooting helped them overcome Indiana’s edge in blocks and fast-break points.
For bettors, the Bucks covered the closing 3.5-point spread by 11.5, and the game stayed under the 239.5 total by 27.5. StatsBench’s posted picks both won: Aaron Nesmith over 11.5 points (13) and Ryan Rollins over 12.5 field goal attempts (14).

Pacers vs Bucks pre-game preview
The Monday night market lists Indiana as a -165 moneyline favorite, with Milwaukee at +4.5 and a 239.5 total, unchanged from the DraftKings opener.
The last meeting on March 15, 2026 saw Indiana lose 123-134 on the road, and the Pacers are 3-7 straight up and 0-3 ATS in the last 10 head-to-head meetings. Indiana is 2-1 straight up and 2-1 ATS this season after a 136-109 win at Brooklyn on October 25, and 4-6 straight up with a 7-3 ATS mark over its last 10. Milwaukee is 0-3 straight up and 1-2 ATS this season, and 2-8 straight up with a 4-6 ATS mark over its last 10.
The most useful angle is Milwaukee’s defense: the Bucks allow 129 points per game, ranked 30th, while their pace of 108.5 ranks third and Indiana’s 104.9 ranks 11th. Indiana’s injury report lists T.J. McConnell out, Johnny Furphy out for the season and Ben Sheppard out, with Ivica Zubac day-to-day and unlikely to play Monday. On the prop side, Aaron Nesmith’s over 10.5 points at -125 has cleared in 8 of his last 10, and the StatsBench model projects 15.7.
