Milwaukee, WI
Start time, where to watch, injury report, betting odds April 26
The Indiana Pacers host the Milwaukee Bucks for Game 3 of their first-round playoff series tonight. It’s the first postseason game in Indianapolis since the 2019 playoffs — Indiana played a series in the NBA bubble in 2020 and hasn’t been a postseason squad since.
Now, they return home to their fans in a best-of-seven set for the first time in a half decade. The players are all excited about the opportunity, especially after splitting the first two games of the series in Milwaukee. It’s a key outing with the set knotted up and Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo doubtful to play.
“There are endless cautionary tales about the road team winning Game 2 and coming home and not being able to respond the right way,” Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said of his team after they practiced on Thursday. He’s hoping the blue and gold look crisp again tonight.

Pacers vs Bucks Injury Report
The Pacers listed Bennedict Mathurin (torn labrum) as out.
The Bucks listed Giannis Antetokounmpo as doubtful due to his left calf strain. Chris Livingston (non-COVID illness) is doubtful and Khris Middleton (right ankle sprain) is questionable.
Key Matchup
Myles Turner vs Brook Lopez: In Game 2 of the series, both Lopez and Turner upped their level of play. Lopez was red hot early, raining in threes and creating space on the floor for his teammates. His defense has always been terrific. Turner, meanwhile, bounced back and was more efficient while also rebounding and passing at a high level.
Both bigs finished with 22 points and were better than they looked in Game 1. If one of the two starting centers can clearly outplay the other one tonight, it will go far in deciding the game. Turner was the superior five in Game 2, the only win for Indiana in the series to date.

Milwaukee Wave coach Marcio Leite 2025-26 team’s evolution in MASL
See first-year Milwaukee Wave head coach Marcio Leite discuss the roles of younger players and veterans as the 2025-26 MASL season begins.
The Milwaukee Wave had been in the awkward position of trying to sell tickets to the MASL championship series without knowing when it would actually host a game.
The questions were answered late April 19, when the San Diego Sockers beat the St. Louis Ambush in the other semifinal in overtime. Their series didn’t even start until four days after the Wave eliminated the Baltimore Blast with victories in a regulation Game 2 and knockout Game 3 at the UWM Panther Arena.
Now the finals are set for two of the most decorated teams in arena soccer.
The Wave will host Game 1 at 6:35 p.m. Wednesday, April 22 and then the series will finish at the Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California, with Game 2 at 9:30 p.m. April 24 and a potential Game 3 at 9 p.m. April 27.
Three versions of the Sockers have totaled 16 championships in various indoor league with the latest iteration founded in 2009 owning six of those. The Wave has seven.
First-year Wave head coach Marcio Leite has won titles with both franchises.
