The Milwaukee Bucks have all but wrapped up the No.1 seed in the Eastern Conference, the best record in the NBA and home court advantage throughout the 2023 playoffs. Jrue Holiday and Giannis Antetokounmpo combined for 89 points in the Bucks' dominant win over the Indiana Pacers Wednesday night.

Holiday had a career game against the Pacers with 51 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists. Antetokounmpo was also dominant with 38 points, 17 rebounds and 12 assists. The Bucks and Pacers were battling back and forth in this one up until Milwaukee eventually pulled away in the fourth quarter. Milwaukee is gearing up for a big matchup against the Celtics Thursday night that will decide the winner of the season series. However, the Bucks are up by a full three games on Boston in the standings for the top seed.

NBA teams with the number one seed have not had much luck in the playoffs in the recent past in terms of winning the championship. The Bucks will look to get back to the finals after missing out on a chance to repeat last season.
