Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: March 2 vs Indiana Pacers
By Adam McGee
Finale
The Bucks desperately need to get back to winning ways, but their play against the Pistons on Wednesday didn’t do much to inspire confidence that they’ll be able to do that.
Previous meetings with the Pacers this year have brought out both the best and the worst of the Bucks, and considering how tumultuous their recent games have been, they may well settle for a performance in the middle of those two extremes.
The Bucks will have to contain Indiana’s big men and try to force someone other than Oladipo to beat them, but if one or both of Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton can’t get firing, they’re going to be hard pushed to find a way to win.
