Pacers Look To Build Off Win In Home-Opener
The Indiana Pacers play host to the Milwaukee Bucks at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Monday evening.

The Pacers (1-2) started their season with two straight road losses, before they pulled off an impressive win over the Heat in their home-opener on Saturday. Rookie Chris Duarte has had a great start to his NBA career, and led the Pacers with a team-high 19 points, in their recent win. Malcolm Brogdon totaled 18 points, 14 rebounds, four assists and two blocks, while Domantas Sabonis tallied 17 points, 12 rebounds, four assists and four steals in the contest. The Pacers are averaging 119.3 points per game, which is fifth most in the league, and they are giving up an average of 116.3 points against. T.J. Warren (foot) and Caris LeVert (back) have yet to debut this season and will both remain sidelined through Saturday's action.

Meanwhile, this marks the third and final game of a road trip for the Bucks (2-1), where they have gone 1-1 so far, with a loss in Miami followed by a win in San Antonio in their most recent contest. Six players scored in double digits for the Bucks in their most recent win, led by Khris Middleton, who totaled 28 points on 9-of-17 shooting. Giannis Antetokounmpo added 21 points, eight rebounds, eight assists and three blocks, while Jrue Holiday and Pat Connaughton added 16 points each. The Bucks are averaging 114.3 points per game and are giving up an average of 117.3 points against, as their 42-point loss in Miami contributed heavily to the lopsided averages. Bobby Portis (hamstring), who has yet to play this season, remains questionable for action, while Jrue Holiday (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Monday's contest. Brook Lopez (back) will be sidelined.
