Milwaukee Bucks vs Indiana Pacers predicted starting lineups and depth charts for Game 5 (April 29) | 2025 NBA Playoffs

The Milwaukee Bucks vs Indiana Pacers matchup is one of four 2025 NBA Playoffs games scheduled for Tuesday. This is Game 5 of the series, with Indiana looking to end the series with a win.

The Pacers have largely dominated the Bucks in the series apart from Game 3 in Milwaukee which they lost 117-101. Indiana, however, bounced back with a dominant 129-103 win in Game 4 on Sunday.

All Indiana starters scored in double digits and were led by Myles Turner’s 23 points. Tyrese Haliburton had a double-double of 17 points and 15 assists, while Andrew Nembhard had 20 points. Giannis Antetokounmpo led Milwaukee with 28 points and 15 rebounds.

The Bucks’ attempt to tie the series received a serious roadblock in the opening quarter as Damian Lillard was helped off the court with a non-contact lower leg injury. It was reported Monday that Lillard tore his left Achilles tendon and is now out indefinitely.

It was a disappointing end to the season for the nine-time All-Star who was back only for his third game after a deep vein thrombosis in his right calf ruled him out for the end of the regular season. With Lillard out, Milwaukee’s hopes of overcoming a 3-1 deficit took a serious hit.
