The Milwaukee Bucks certainly have their work cut out for them at home.

After dropping Game 4 to the Indiana Pacers and their barrage of 3-pointers, the Bucks sit in a 3-1 hole now facing elimination. Injuries played a large role in that, especially with Giannis Antetokounmpo still yet to suit up for the series and Damian Lillard now dealing with an aggravated Achilles.

Despite being hobbled, Milwaukee will face the Pacers for a chance to force a Game 6. Luckily, it's at home, so the crowd will be in favor, but that won't make it any easier.
