That seond point could be especially bad news for the Bucks, who rely on getting to the line a fair amount to make up for a general lack of three-point shooters. Indiana's defense is once again one of the league's best, and they excel at both forcing turnovers and keeping opponents off the line. Indiana really seems to be hitting its stride lately, with the only two losses in the aforementioned stretch coming at the hands of the Cavaliers and Bulls, the latter being a one-point loss on the road.

George has scored at least 26 points in eight straight games, averaging roughly 30/8/4.5 and shooting over 50% from behind the arc as the Pacers have gone 6-2. George has been sensational in 12 games this season, blowing away his career-highs in categories across the board. Whatever misgivings he may have about his position, there's no denying that Paul George is getting it done for Indiana.

Giannis' career-high 33 points led all scorers in a game that featured a whole mess of strong performances (neither team played a whole heck of a lot of defense). The Bucks dropped a tough game in Cleveland Thursday night despite a sensational outing by Giannis Antetokounmpo.
