Pacers vs. Bucks, 9:00 p.m. ET, NBA League Pass

Pick ATS: Bucks -5.5

Milwaukee is playing well right now, and this is not the best spot to go after the Pacers. Indiana is playing the third of a three-game road trip and is playing a day after an overtime game, while the Bucks had Sunday off with an extra day of rest. These two teams met in February this season, and the Bucks earned a 20-point win. They are in a good spot to cover this spread and keep their streak rolling.

Player Prop: TBD
