INDIANA +190 ML over Milwaukee Gainsbridge Fieldhouse – Indianapolis, IN

7:00 PM ET. Everyone remembers last season’s playoff fireworks — Indy sent Milwaukee home and tempers nearly boiled over with Giannis jawing at Halliburton’s father at half-court. The Bucks have circled this one, and “revenge” is the word buzzing around their locker room. Naturally, with the Pacers sitting at 1-5 and Halliburton out, the public sees an easy spot for Milwaukee to “get theirs.” That’s exactly why this price

is inflated.

Milwaukee is being treated like a certainty. Indiana is being treated like a doormat. But this team still competes, still has scoring depth, and plays with pride at home. A rivalry game with built-in animosity makes margins razor thin — emotion doesn’t automatically translate to execution.

Indiana still has explosive bench scoring, spacing weapons, and a physical edge inside that can make this a street-fight of a game. Milwaukee will absolutely want to “show who's boss.” The problem? That mentality often tightens a team up rather than frees them. Revenge angles burn tickets every season — not because the better team can’t win, but because the number swells simply due to emotion.

Revenge is one of the most overrated angles in betting, because the number always stretches to account for it. Here, we grab the deflated side. Indiana can absolutely hang, and if they dictate tempo and force Milwaukee to grind, this becomes a coin-flip late. At nearly 2-to-1 at home? That’s value. We’ll take the plunge.
