Milwaukee enters the game at 8-3, good for second in the Eastern Conference. Indiana is 7-5.

That mark is two points per game better than New Orleans in second place. Indiana is fifth in the league in defense, giving up 104 points per game. The Bucks won this kind of matchup once already this season. Orlando has the best scoring defense in the league and Milwaukee routed them on the road.
