Pacer to Watch

The Bucks will have to beware of the threats posed by Myles Turner, Domantas Sabonis and Bojan Bogdanovic, who have all had standout games against the Bucks in recent years.

Having said that, there’s no question that it’s Indiana’s All-Star, Victor Oladipo, who will warrant the most attention.

Oladipo is proving that his strong start to the season wasn’t just a flash in the pan, as he continues to look like a star since arriving from Oklahoma City in the trade that sent Paul George in the opposite direction.

For the season overall, Oladipo is averaging 24.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2.2 steals, while shooting 48 percent from the field and 37 percent from the three-point line.

If Tony Snell remains out injured, the Bucks will likely turn to Sterling Brown to slow down Oladipo. The rookie certainly has the ability to be up to that task, but it remains a lot to ask of him.
