ABOUT THE Pacers: Entering Tuesday, they were the highest scoring team in the Eastern Conference (104.9 ppg) and fourth-highest in the league. But they give up 107.1 points and only Sacramento (109.0) and Golden State (111.0) yield more. The Pacers are 8-2 against the Bucks since the 2006-'07 season.

PLAYER TO WATCH

Danny Granger, Pacers

The all-star forward did not play in the Pacers' victory over the Bucks on Jan. 28 in Indiana because of injury. Entering Tuesday, he was fifth in the league in scoring (25.6) and is on pace to become the highest-scoring Pacer since Billy Knight (26.6) in 1976-'77. Granger could also become the first player in NBA history to raise his scoring average by at least five points in three consecutive seasons.
