For the second year in a row, the Indiana Pacers and Milwaukee Bucks are meeting in the first round of the NBA playoffs. The Pacers, who knocked the Bucks out last year, enter as the higher seed and the favorite this year against their Central Division rival.

With a healthy Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee Bucks are well-positioned to keep things close in their Game 1 opener at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
