Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: April 6 at Indiana Pacers

Finale

This should be a good game on a few different levels. The Giannis vs Paul George subplot is interesting, and the overall playoff implications of this game are massive for the entire bottom of the Eastern playoff race.

Indiana winning would put pressure on both Chicago and Miami, as one of them will be eliminated if neither team catches the Pacers in record. The Bucks winning, on the other hand, would give those two teams the upper hand in keeping Indiana out of the postseason.

In addition, a Bucks win could help the team cement their fifth seed heading into the playoffs. Without looking too hard at potential match-ups, having a better seed is typically the right thing to go for.
