Regular Season Series: Indiana 4-1
Keys:
Getting Freaky
The Bucks got good news when it was reported that Dame Lillard should return during the series even though he’s been ruled out for Game 1.
That means Giannis Antetokounmpo will need to get the Bucks off to a winning start against a team they’ve struggled with.
Antetokounmpo will need to be a high-volume offensive player. The balance will be getting the other players involved and still have the games within reach so he can take over in the fourth quarter.
Antetokounmpo loved Kobe Bryant. He will need to channel his inner Mamba.
Siakam Must Match Giannis
Sometimes it gets forgotten that Pascal Siakam played a major role in winning a title. Indiana has dominated Milwaukee this season but in a series where the Bucks can just focus on one opponent could change things.
Siakam needs to ensure that he matches Giannis and the Pacers need to protect home court.
