The Milwaukee Bucks needed a desperation shot at the buzzer to stop their losing streak and look to keep the momentum going Thursday versus the Central-rival Indiana Pacers.
Milwaukee is 35-36 on the season, 19-14 at home and 40-30 against the spread. Indiana is 31-40 on the season, 13-22 on the road and 37-31 against the spread. These two have met three times during this season and Indiana has won two of the three meetings while the Bucks covered in two of the three meetings. Indiana has won eight of its last nine against Milwaukee, but the Bucks are 4-2 against the spread in the last six games of this series.

Indiana's playoff fate is in its own hands. Over their final 11 games, the Pacers play a game each against Boston, Charlotte, Brooklyn, seventh-place Miami, and sixth-place Milwaukee. The Bucks are four games ahead of Indiana, but they're fading fast, having dropped 11 of their last 14 contests. The Pacers are up 2-1 in the season series and a win Thursday in Milwaukee would give them the head-to-head tiebreaker over their Central Division rivals.

Pacers forward Paul George is getting back to playing shape after suffering a gruesome right leg fracture last summer for Team USA. George is expected to make his season debut soon and said after Monday's shootaround he doesn't know when his return date will be.
"I wanted it to be March 14, but that obviously didn't happen," George told reporters. "We're just being smart about the situation. When the time's ready, I'll be back out there."
The Pacers are 2-1 against the Bucks this season and have won 13 of the past 16 games between the Central inhabitants. Indiana is unbeaten in three straight trips to Brew City.
Milwaukee is the slight favorite at home, as the Bucks are getting odds of -1.5 points against the Pacers. The over/under total for the game has been set at 186.5 points.
