Milwaukee Bucks vs Indiana Pacers key matchups

The Milwaukee Bucks vs Indiana Pacers game has two very interesting matchups that basketball fans should anticipate. The game is played 5x5 but these individual battles will help determine the outcome of the match.

Tyrese Haliburton vs Damian Lillard

This is going to be the marquee matchup of the day as the fast-rising point guard Tyrese Haliburton will get to matchup with one of the NBA 75th Anniversary Team members Damian Lillard. Both have something to prove and it could be a barometer of how far Haliburton is in his game.

Myles Turner vs Brook Lopez

These are two of the best shot blockers in the game so far and have similar game styles. Both can shoot the three-point shot and can intimidate penetrators coming into the paint. Whoever beats out each other could give the opposing team an edge as they will open up a lane to the hoop.
