Game Preview

The Milwaukee Bucks lost six of their last eight games to limp into the playoffs as the third seed in the Eastern Conference.

With the availability of Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo in question, the Bucks bid to get back on track Sunday when they open their first-round series at home against the sixth-seeded Indiana Pacers.

Indiana (47-35) won four of the five meetings against Milwaukee (49-33) this season, including in a tournament setting during the in-season tournament in December.
