How to watch the Indiana Pacers in the Playoffs live in 2024
This post was written in partnership with Sling TV.
Through consistent play, the Indiana Pacers made their way to the 2024 NBA Playoffs, in a Number 6 seed. Thanks in large part to the play of Pascal Siakam, Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner, the Pacers have a strong chance against the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Pacers take on a bruised Bucks team that will not have former-MVP, Giannis Antetokounmpo, in the first round of the playoffs. The odds have switched in the series and now the Pacers have a real opportunity to upset one of the top teams in the East.
