However, the team is likely to not have star guard Damian Lillard for the series as he deals with a serious blood clot issue. Lillard could play in this series, but there has been no major update on his potential return.

Even without Lillard, the Bucks won't be an easy out for Indiana. They still have a lot of talent on the roster, and they have been playing much better of late.

This series has all the feelings of a tight matchup, with each side throwing punches throughout. Indiana will be trying to get back to the Eastern Conference Finals, but this time push forward to the NBA Finals.

All in all, we should be in for a great series between two strong teams. The rivalry between each side makes this much more intriguing, giving fans some entertainment in the postseason.
