Milwaukee Bucks vs. Indiana Pacers NBA Pick Prediction 5/13/2021 by Tony T.
Bucks at Pacers—NBA free pick is Indiana Pacers +8.5. Not comfortable laying nearly three full possessions with the Bucks. Their recent defensive form the reason as in their past five games allowing 50% shooting along with 45.2% from three point range. In that period the Pacers are shooting 49.7% and defending much better. Pacers are motivated down the stretch as they have a shot of passing Charlotte for the eighth seed which means winning one of two play in games will qualify for the playoffs instead of needing two straight wins in the ninth seed. Bucks are a game back of the Nets for the two seed and own the head to head tiebreaker. But Milwaukee has hit this mode of winning by outscoring and playing poorly defensively as they have failed to cover four straight. Pacers are dealing with injuries but playing are LeVert, Sabonis and Jrue Holliday. Play Indiana +8.5.
