The Milwaukee Bucks are confronted with challenging circumstances as they endeavor to level their first-round series against the Indiana Pacers.

Down 2-1 in the series and playing away from home, the Bucks face the additional setback of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s absence due to a strained calf.

With Antetokounmpo still sidelined, the Pacers have an opportunity to extend their lead to 3-1, intensifying the pressure on Milwaukee as the series returns to Milwaukee for Game 5 on Tuesday.
