The Milwaukee Bucks will play the Indiana Pacers in Game 6 of their first-round playoff series at 5:30 pm Thursday in Indianapolis.
The Bucks avoided elimination on Tuesday night in Game 5 by getting 29-point performances from Khris Middleton and Bobby Portis in their 115-92 victory.
The Bucks now trail the series, 3-2.
Whether Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard play remains unclear. Antetokounmpo has missed the entire series with a calf strain, while Lillard has not played the last two games with an Achilles injury.
