Division Rivals Clash in Last Game – Bucks at Pacers

Bucks, Pacers, To Renew Division Rivalry, Finish Out Regular Season Tonight

The Milwaukee Bucks (34-47 SU, 40-39-2 ATS, 44-37 O/U) and Indiana Pacers (35-46 SU, 44-35-2 ATS, 45-34-2 O/U) will renew their division rivalry while trying to pick up an SU and ATS win in the BetOnline Sportsbook tonight when they square off at Conseco Fieldhouse at 8 PM ET.

The Bucks won their second consecutive game by surprising the Orlando Magic 98-80 on Monday night to cover the spread for NBA betting backers as 6.5-point home favorites.

Veteran swingman Richard Jefferson scored a team-high 24 points and dished out seven assists to lead the Bucks while the final score played under the 199-point O/U total.

All-star forward Danny Granger poured in a team-high 38 points for Indiana in its 117-109 loss to Cleveland on Monday night. The Pacers failed to cover the spread as 4-point road underdogs while the final score played over the 208-point O/U total.

Here is a look at tonight’s key betting trends, followed by my in-depth analysis and NBA Free Picks.

NBA Odds

• Milwaukee Bucks +8 -110
• Indiana Pacers -8 -110
• Over 222 -110
• Under 222 -110

Analysis: Both teams don’t have much to play for in this contest and I think the Indiana Pacers are giving up too many points to a Milwaukee team that wants to finish out the regular season strong for head coach Scott Skiles.

The Bucks have covered the spread in three of the last four meetings and will do so again tonight.  Take the Bucks and the points NBA sports betting fans and don’t look back.
