Bucks vs. Pacers: Game thread, lineups, TV info and more

The Pacers host the Bucks for the first time this season under less than ideal conditions.

Check that.

Far less than ideal conditions. Oof.

If you’re looking for positives from the carnage listed above, the fact that Jeremy Lamb is doubtful instead of out is an upgrade. However, there seemed to be some hope that Myles Turner may play and being doubtful is worse than questionable, let alone probable.

Oh, and sit back while the narrative on Malcolm Brogdon flips before your very eyes. The story developing throughout the week was why Milwaukee went cheap and didn’t keep Brogdon considering his impressive start to the season for the Pacers. Now, with a sore back (not a foot injury which has been a past problem) the other side of the story will rush in to explain how Brogdon was too big a risk for the Bucks because of his injury history.

Ahhh, narratives.

As for the game, the Pacers will show up and play all 48.
