What channel is Bucks vs Pacers on today? Time, TV, streaming, odds

With Giannis Antetokounmpo's and now Khris Middleton's status in question for Game 3 of the Milwaukee Bucks' first-round playoff series with the Indiana Pacers, will Damian Lillard and the rest of their teammates answer the challenge of splitting the next two games in Indianapolis?

Fans won't even have to miss much of the NFL draft to find out, thanks to an unusual 4:30 p.m. tip.

The Bucks were able to win Game 1 without Giannis at Fiserv Forum, but Middleton sprained his ankle in Game 2 and, with his availability in doubt, the Bucks are a 5½-point underdog after giving up 125 points Tuesday night.

Lillard has averaged 30.5 points in the first halves of the two games, but scored zero and eight points in the second halves. Can he save some "Dame Time" for closing time in the next two games?

Somebody also might want to help Bobby Portis close off the space that the Pacers' Pascal Siakam has been able to get on offense. Siakam has 73 points in the first two games.
