Indiana is still all about defense, tops in the NBA in points allowed, plus sixth in rebounding. But the offense has taken off with the Pacers winning four of their last six games, including a 106-95 victory over Miami on Wednesday. Indiana has raised their game on the offensive end since George Hill's return at point guard. Hill is averaging a team-best 14.2 points in his first five games back from the injured list and the Pacers have scored 101.8 per contest over the last six. The Pacers have won three of five since Hill made his season debut Dec. 23 after being out with a bruised left knee. He has gone on to start the last three games. The Pacers are 12-4-1 ATS on the road and on a 7-1-1 ATS run overall. Milwaukee is #19 in the NBA in points scored and a bad rebounding team (#25). Milwaukee is off a one-sided win, but the Bucks are 7-19 ATS following a win of more than 10 points. Play the Indiana Pacers.
