Pacers vs. Bucks
The Bucks also need a home win to avoid a 3-0 series deficit. I believe they're more poised to get off to the crucial hot start they need. Brook Lopez has a significant jump ball advantage over Myles Turner, who is one of the worst full-time starters in that aspect.
When Milwaukee scored first this season, they liked to go to Giannis and Damian Lillard. In this situation, I like them going to Lillard. The Pacers gave up 40% of opposing first scores to guards, and Lillard will really want to get going after knocking a bunch of rust off in Game 2. I like him to get the first crack and first score for Milwaukee.
Pick: Damian Lillard (+700)
