Another defeat for “Indy”?

For the Pacers, the season was already over before the first Spalding was even thrown. The reason is Tyrese Haliburton’s serious injury in Game Seven of last year’s NBA Finals against OKC, which means the top guard won’t be able to play a single game this season.

So far, the runners-up have been unable to compensate for Haliburton’s absence. After six games, the men from Bankers Life Fieldhouse have only one win to their name this season. Admittedly, however, their performance in the opener against the champions from Oklahoma was still strong. Indy only had to admit defeat after two overtimes.

The visiting basketball hunters from “Brew City” arrive with a winning percentage of 66.7 percent. Guard Ryan Rollins, among others, is in strong form. After four seasons in which he saw little playing time, he recorded more than 50 games and double-digit playing time for the first time last season. Now Rollins has even risen to become the primary starter due to the absence of Kevin Porter Jr.

He is repaying that trust with strong performances such as the 32 points he scored against the Warriors in the penultimate game. For the matchup between the Indiana Pacers and Milwaukee Bucks, the prediction is therefore for the 23-year-old to score more than 14.5 points again.

Indiana Pacers – Milwaukee Bucks Tip

Milwaukee still has a score to settle with the Pacers due to last season’s postseason defeat. The chances of that score being settled are promising. With Haliburton out, Coach Rick Carlisle’s team can be considered clearly weakened. The start of the season with five losses and one win confirms this assessment.

However, Jarace Walker is a positive ray of hope. The 22-year-old forward has almost doubled his career average of 5.7 points this season with an average of 11.2 points. The Indiana Pacers vs. Milwaukee Bucks betting odds on Walker scoring 15 or more points are therefore also worth considering.

However, our main tip is for Ryan Rollins on the visitors’ side. His performance explosion is even more dramatic. The guard has more than tripled his career average with a seasonal yield of 18.2 points! In light of this, the Indiana Pacers vs. Milwaukee Bucks tip for him to score more than 14.5 points is worth recommending.
