The Milwaukee Bucks are set to face the Indiana Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Monday at 7:00 PM ET. Milwaukee enters the matchup with a 4-2 record, while Indiana is 1-5.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as probable for the Bucks due to left knee patellar tendinopathy, while Alex Antetokounmpo and Pete Nance are out on two-way G League assignments. Kevin Porter Jr. remains sidelined with a right knee meniscus tear.
