00:00That's an 8 o'clock start.
00:01That's the Indiana Pacers and the Milwaukee Bucks, home for Milwaukee.
00:05The total in this game opened up at 230.5, which is a very high number for the playoffs,
00:09still sitting at 230.5 here at the FanDuel Sportsbook.
00:12The side, though, we do have movement.
00:14The opening line, minus 3.5 for the Bucks.
00:17That's now up to 5.5 at the FanDuel Sportsbook and many other books listed as well.
00:22If we look at this game, because we just talked about the Lakers and Timberwolves, 1-1.
00:26Sure, both teams want to win it, but not life and death if you lose it.
00:28A kitchen sink game, as I like to talk about, the Bucks can't afford to lose this game.
00:33Does that play into your mindset for the Bucks and that line movement?
00:36And also, which side are you looking at tonight?
00:40Yeah, well, I love the fact that you have a Pacers team that's playing unbelievable basketball right now,
00:47but that shouldn't come to a shock, right, Donnie?
00:49Because they've been playing ever since after the All-Star break.
00:52They've been playing some of the best basketball all year,
00:55and they have been one of the better teams in the second half, them and the Clippers, in fact.
01:01But them winning games at home the way they are and then doing it in Milwaukee, I think, is a different ballgame.
01:09They lost both regular season games here, you know, when they played Milwaukee on the road.
01:14I think having two days off helps Damian Lillard, too, as well, who was a little bit rusty here.
01:22I think you're going to get a rejuvenated Bucks team here.
01:26I think they are going to have no problem scoring enough.
01:30I think they'll get a few more stops on the road here.
01:33Either way, it's very hard for me to look at the over,
01:37because I do think if Milwaukee's got any shot to get back in this series,
01:42they are going to not allow Indiana to shoot 55% and anything they want from three.
01:48So I think we get a better defensive effort tonight.
01:51I like the under, and I like the Bucks to win one.
