The Indiana Pacers (23-21) begin a four-game road trip with a MLK Day matinee when they visit the Milwaukee Bucks (27-16) in the first of the four-game season series.
The timing of this one initially appeared to be problematic for the Pacers as they catch the Bucks looking to shake out of a little slump after losing five of their last ten games. That includes consecutive losses to the Miami Heat, in their last two games, both of which were played without Giannis Antetokounmpo due to a sore knee. However, after being listed as probable, the Bucks have changed course and now Giannis will be out for the afternoon tilt.
