Two of the NBA\u2018s hottest teams square off on national TV on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
The Milwaukee Bucks, who have won seven of their last 10 games, face the Indiana Pacers, winners of six of their last 10.<\/p>\n
Oddsmakers have the Bucks as 2.5-point road favorites entering this prime-time affair.<\/p>\n
The Pacers should be a very tough out Tuesday night despite being underdogs.<\/p>\n
After a sluggish start for star guard Tyrese Haliburton, Indiana has turned things around nicely. <\/p>\n
The Pacers are 19-9 since the calendar turned to 2025, the sixth-best record in the NBA, behind only the Thunder, Cavaliers, Lakers, Celtics and Nuggets.<\/p>\n
Milwaukee, however, won the two previous clashes between the squads at home.<\/p>\n

Bucks vs. Pacers prediction<\/p>\n
Those two losses occurred when Indiana looked to be on the outside looking in at a playoff spot, but the Pacers are a much different team now.<\/p>\n
The Bucks are now down their backup center and also their sixth man in Bobby Portis.<\/p>\n
Portis was a key contributor in those two games, as he dominated the glass with 14 points and 15 rebounds in a New Year\u2019s Eve victory.<\/p>\n
The Pacers struggled to keep Portis off the board and his ability to knock down shots at a high volume makes his absence a big issue going into Tuesday. <\/p>\n
Indiana has been about average on the defensive side of the ball (18th in defensive rating last 10 games) but the Pacers\u2019 offense has set them apart.<\/p>\n
Betting on the NBA? <\/p>\n
They have the fifth-best offensive rating in the NBA during that span.<\/p>\n
While the Bucks have played well as of late, I do not like this matchup for them.<\/p>\n
Back the Pacers against the spread on Tuesday night as prior to their early season struggles, they dominated the Bucks winning four of their last five. <\/p>\n
PICK: Pacers +2.5 (-105, BetMGM)<\/p>\n
