The Pacers have a tough fight ahead of them at Fiserv Forum.

The Milwaukee Bucks are back and healthy for game 3 in the series tonight. The Bucks have the wind back in their sails — Damian Lillard has returned and is a major offensive component to the Bucks pulling off a series comeback. And yes, the Bucks are playing at home. 

But there is no doubt that if the Pacers win tonight and go 3-0 in the series, they will advance. In NBA history, four teams have forced a Game 7 after trailing 3-0, but all ultimately lost the series. The Indianapolis Pacers are not in the same do-or-die position as the Bucks, which will make it a bit harder for them to maintain their momentum going into tonight's matchup. 

Statistically speaking, the Bucks must win game 3 or they will have no chance of advancing in the 2025 NBA playoffs.
