Game Thread, Bucks vs Pacers, 5 pm, Indiana
Quote:
TEAMS: Bucks (26-49) vs. Indiana Pacers (32-44).
WHEN: 5 p.m. today.
WHERE: Conseco Fieldhouse.
BROADCASTS: TV - FSN Wisconsin cable. Radio - AM-620.
ABOUT THE PACERS: They still have something to play for since they picked up a game on eighth-place Atlanta in the playoff standings by beating the Bucks Friday night at the Bradley Center. That victory, coupled with the Hawks' loss to Philadelphia, left the Pacers three games behind Atlanta with six to play. The Hawks and 76ers played a rematch Saturday night in Philadelphia. The Pacers have won seven of their last 10 games.
PLAYER TO WATCH
JERMAINE O'NEAL, Pacers
He played 19 minutes and 22 seconds against the Bucks on Friday because the team's medical staff has limited him to playing no more than 20 minutes a game as he comes back from a knee injury that sidelined him for 33 games. Coach Jim O'Brien said O'Neal would play no more than 20 minutes in today's game, also. If O'Neal is cleared to play up to 25 minutes per game, O'Brien says he'll probably put him in the starting lineup.
