Preview | Milwaukee Bucks
The Bucks have been dominant for about a month now. After a five-game losing streak, the Bucks arrested their slump with a complete turnaround. Since February 19, they have lost just once and have won 11 games. Giannis Antetokounmpo’s return to MVP form has been one of the reasons for this return to form, and he will be key for them tonight as well.
New arrivals Rodions Kurucs (oblique) and Axel Toupane (personal) are both listed as questionable for the game, and both are yet to make their debut for the Bucks. Giannis (knee) is also listed as questionable but is likely to return in time for the game.

Starting 5 for the Bucks
Guard – Jrue Holiday
Guard – Donte DiVincenzo
Forward – Khris Middleton
Forward – Giannis Antetokounmpo
Center – Brook Lopez
Preview | Indiana Pacers
The Pacers had a bright start to their season but have cooled down lately. Their inconsistencies have held them back, and that is the reason behind their 19-22 record. They won their last two games, which came against the Heat, which was a surprise. In their previous 10 games, they had won just twice, so fans will be happy with the recent results.
Sophomore Jalen Lecque (ankle) is listed as questionable for the game, while bubble star T. J. Warren (foot) is likely to spend a few more weeks on the sidelines.
