The Indiana Pacers will face a stiff challenge in the form of the Milwaukee Bucks. The game will be scheduled for March 11, 2025, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. With the playoffs approaching fast, both teams would like to secure a win to give themselves a much-needed boost. At the moment, the Bucks and the Pacers are going neck and neck. Thus, it would not be wrong to predict that Wednesday morning’s 4th vs. 5th fight will be an intense matchup.

As previously mentioned, the Milwaukee Bucks and the Indiana Pacers have had quite an identical run. While the Pacers have 35 wins and 27 losses, the Bucks have a win more in their kitty with the same amount of defeats. Interestingly, a look at the two team’s recent records also looks eerily similar to one another. Both the Bucks and the Pacers have succumbed to back-to-back losses in their previous couple of games. However, looking at their last five matches, the Bucks have a slight advantage with three wins and two losses, while the Pacers are 2-3 in the win-loss column.

For the Bucks, Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo will have to get their team out of trouble. Lillard has had an impressive season, with an average of 25.5 points per game. He will be ably backed by Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is leading the NBA scoring charts with 30.9 ppg. On the contrary, the Pacers will depend on the likes of Ben Sheppard and Myles Turner for a triumphant performance.

Where are they now? Keeping tabs on players from the past with Honest Larry
The Boston Celtics can finally concentrate on finding the players on finishing their roster with the Kevin Durant trade request from the Brooklyn Nets rescinded, and in so doing will likely create some new alumni in the process by bringing on a few new players in place of the depth that they had in the 2021-22 NBA season. But where are the players from Boston’s past signing for this upcoming season? What teams and leagues are they signing with? Who is making the leap into coaching? Who are still waiting for the logjam that is KD that just broke to open up some spots for them to sign with a team in the Association? For this episode of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast, we decided to take a trip down memory lane to get ourselves up to speed on where the alumni of the Celtics are going to spend the upcoming season.  To do that we enlisted friend of the pod and unofficial team Twitter historian Honest Larry, who linked up with your usual hosts Cameron Tabatabaie, Alex Goldberg, and Justin Quinn to figure out where these blasts from Boston’s past hang their hats (and their jerseys) now.

The Boston Celtics are back in the States, riding a new win streak – perhaps buoyed by Lil’ B’s blessing. Topher Lane and Mark Allison break down the state of the Celtics in relation to the top of the East, the coming relaxed schedule, and whether the Cs have a curse to worry about as well. They’re also joined by Justin Quinn and Josh Coyne, who discuss Josh’s behind-the-scenes reporting from London’s O2 arena, where he got to speak to several players on both the Philadelphia 76ers, Celtics, Brad Stevens, the Starter’s Tas Melas, and even the man himself, Commissioner Adam Silver.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celtics-lab-nba-basketball-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

Navigating Boston’s ‘big’ cap concerns with Yossi Gozlan
The Boston Celtics and Grant Williams could not come to terms on a rookie scale extension for the Tennessee alumnus ahead of the 2022-23 NBA season, with Williams instead electing to bet on himself. How could this play out for both parties given we’re hearing rumbles of interest from opposing teams? How does the looming free agency of Al Horford affect Boston’s cap space outlook? The backdrop for Boston’s offseason financial concerns for their frontcourt also takes shape with a likely cap spike and looming media rights deal that could transform labor negotiations ahead of the league’s next collective bargaining agreement, so what might something like a hard cap mean for Boston? To get a look at some lingering but timely issues from a teambuilding perspective, the hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast linked up with HoopsHype cap guru Yossi Gozlan to talk over the contours of the Celtics’ and NBA’s cap management concerns, with an unvarnished view of the team’s start thrown in for good measure. Your usual hosts Cameron Tabatabaie and Justin Quinn also touch on Kyrie Irving’s suspension in the context of a lot of bad NBA news percolating to the surface all at once this week.

Boston wins Game 4 vs. Miami, but lose Kristaps Porzingis; what happens next?
The Boston Celtics won Game 4 of their 2024 NBA Eastern Conference first round series with the Miami Heat to take a commanding 3-1 lead at Kaseya Center on Monday night, but the win came at a cost. The Celtics lost star big man Kristaps Porzingis to what is being described as a calf strain, and could miss substantial time as a result. How does Porzingis’ injury impact the rest of the series vs. the Heat? Assuming Boston advances (and we should), how do the team’s rotations change in terms of minutes distribution of frontcourt minutes change — and who gets them? The hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast took a deep dive into Boston’s Game 4 results and what it means for the team moving forward. We also take a quick look around the league at some other developments that may impact Boston as well, focusing on what we want to see in Game 5.

Indiana Pacers vs. Milwaukee Bucks: Injury Report

Isaiah Jackson has been ruled out of the season for the Indiana Pacers due to an ACL tear. Adding to the list, T.J. McConnell(ankle) and Tyrese Haliburton(hip) are listed as doubtful for the game against the Chicago Bulls. They will be reassessed ahead of the game with the Bucks.

Thankfully, for the Bucks, there are no significant injuries. The only thorn in their path has been Pat Connaughton’s calf injury. Having missed the last eight games, Connaughton will likely miss Wednesday’s outing.
