Pacers @ Bucks 9:30 PM ET
Game# 567-568
Play On: Bucks +4.5

I may be in the minority but I don’t see Milwaukee being eliminated at home tonight without the very least making it a competitive game that goes down to the wire. After the Bucks won the opening game of this series they lost 3 straight and find themselves on the brink of elimination. Even with their 2 stars not in the lineup tonight I look for this proud roster to play with a ton of urgency and desperation while also drawing from the energy of their loyal fans at home. Since the 2004 NBA Playoffs, Game 5 home teams down 3-1 in a series after losing each of the previous 3, resulted in those Game 5 home teams going 11-2 SU (84.6%). If those home teams were an underdog then they went 2-0 SU&ATS with an average victory margin of 6.5 points per contest. Give me the Bucks plus points.
