The Bucks and Pacers have met many times over the last few seasons, so there are few secrets. Here are 3 things the Bucks can do to win the series.

The Pacers went 4-1 in the five meetings last season, followed by a 4-2 triumph in the first round. Things flipped this season, with the Bucks taking three of four (and the loss coming on Haliburton’s four-point play with three seconds left).

Lillard remains out for Game 1 of the Bucks' first-round series against the Pacers, but his status for Game 2 is unclear.
