Indiana will have home-court advantage in the playoffs for the first time since 2014 after winning 50 games and earning the fourth seed. The Pacers finished the regular season 29-11 at home, where they were also 6-0 over the first two rounds of last season’s playoffs.

For the first time since the 2013-14 season, the Indiana Pacers will play the first game of a playoff series in front of their home fans in Indianapolis.

The Milwaukee Bucks won the season series and have the greater postseason experience, but the Indiana Pacers hold the home-court advantage when the Central Division rivals tip off an Eastern Conference first-round best-of-seven playoff series Saturday afternoon in Indianapolis.
