The Milwaukee Bucks (11-18) visit the Indiana Pacers (6-23) in an NBA 2025-26 game on Tuesday, December 23, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

The Pacers try to halt a skid at home after a 103-95 loss to the Boston Celtics on Monday. Indiana led big, but Boston rallied from a 20-point deficit for the inspiring comeback victory. 

Pascal Siakam, who is averaging 23.8 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 4.0 assists so far, led the Pacers with 25 points in that loss. Andrew Nembhard added 20 points. 

However, that was the Pacers' fifth straight loss. Their offense still poses more questions than answers, as evident in their league-worst offensive rating (108.7). 

As for the Bucks, they’re coming off a 103-100 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday. Milwaukee led by 16 before Minnesota’s third-quarter run flipped the game.

It was a great effort for the Bucks, considering that they were missing superstar forward Giannis Antetokounmpo. Kevin Porter Jr. led their charge, producing a near triple-double of 24 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists, and 4 steals. Bobby Portis and Ryan Rollins chipped in 16 markers apiece.

Giannis and Taurean Prince won't play for the Bucks on Tuesday, while the Pacers will miss Tyrese Haliburton, Ben Sheppard, Aaron Nesmith, and Obi Toppin.

Our Milwaukee Bucks vs Indiana Pacers Prediction

Indiana is stuck in a rough stretch, and their league-worst offense has had long dry spells.  Even more, they're missing tons of key players, including Tyrese Haliburton, Ben Sheppard, Aaron Nesmith, and Obi Toppin.

The Bucks also have their own personnel problems, as main star Giannis Antetokounmpo is still recovering from his calf injury. But they're still the better team this season, especially if they get another dynamic performance from Kevin Porter Jr. Our prediction for the Indiana Pacers vs Milwaukee Bucks match is: Bucks (-1.5) cover the spread.
