Milwaukee Bucks vs Indiana Pacers Starting Lineups and Depth chart for Game 6 (May 2)

The Indiana Pacers host the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 6 of their first-round Eastern Conference series. The Pacers lead the series 3-2, but it was Milwaukee who won Game 5 on Tuesday. After losing three on the trot, the Bucks finally got back to winning ways with a 115-92 win at home, that, too, without Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard.

Khris Middleton and Bobby Portis Jr. scored 29 points each in the win. The Pacers struggled to score, as Tyrese Haliburton led the team with 16 points. Game 6 is the perfect opportunity for Indiana to close out the series at home on Thursday, as the Pacers shouldn’t risk a Game 7 on the road.

The Bucks’ injury concerns continue in Game 6 as Giannis Antetokounmpo is still listed as out with a calf injury. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski did provide some positive news that Antetokounmpo is working his way toward a return on Thursday, but it’s not clear if he will be able to do so.

Damian Lillard could miss his third straight game with an Achilles injury as he is listed as questionable. Patrick Beverley (oblique) and Khris Middleton (ankle) are probable and should play.
