4 Reasons Why the Indiana Pacers Can Surpass the Bucks for the 6th Seed
By Jared Wade
2. The Indiana Pacers Play the Bucks Two More Times
The Indiana Pacers play the Milwaukee Bucks two more times, once at home and once up north. Winning both of these games would turn the Bucks’ current 4.5 game lead into 2.5, and mean Indiana would only need to gain two other games on them in the other 18 remaining contests.
So getting these two games is mandatory to getting the 6 seed.
The first matchup is Thursday in Indiana, and the Bucks will be heading to Naptown on the second night of a back to back after playing Orlando in Milwaukee.
This is game the Pacers should win.
The other matchup comes in Milwaukee on March 26, and the Pacers will be heading to Beer City (do people call it that?) on the second night of a back to back after playing the Wizards in Washington.
Overall, I would say the slight edge here goes to the Bucks, but the Pacers have looked like the better of the two teams for awhile now, so this is basically a push. The outcome to bet on is each team winning on its home floor, but if the Pacers can take both, they’ll have a shot to wrestle away the 6 seed.
