Jalen Smith with a 3 to get the #Pacers started. They trail 6-5 early after a nasty dunk by Giannis. – 8:13 PM

Yooooooo that Goga Bitadze pass. – 8:13 PM

Bucks set up Khris Middleton for a little backdoor cut on the first play of the game and he finishes it with a layup. Underway in Milwaukee. – 8:11 PM

It truly sucks as an NBA season ticket holder when Giannis, Curry, Durant and Morant all sit when they come to your city. – 8:07 PM

I’m looking forward to watching Johnny Davis tonight as the No. 15 Wisconsin Badgers face the Indiana Hoosiers in Bloomington.
Davis is averaging 20.3 points and 8.1 rebounds per game this season and is currently ranked No. 8 on the @basketbllnews 2022 NBA Draft Big Board. pic.twitter.com/pSvJOkNGbK8:00 PM

What would the Bucks be getting with DeAndre’ Bembry in the backcourt?

2. Orlando – $28.1M
3. Indiana – $23.8M
