Right now, the Milwaukee Bucks find themselves in the unenviable position of being down 0-2 to the Indiana Pacers. They are at risk of being eliminated by them for the second year in a row.

Even so, there is no reason to panic quite yet. The Bucks haven't played a game on their home floor yet, so they still have a chance to even the series.

Milwaukee will get its first game in front of its fans on Friday night. Winning that game is essential to staying alive and keeping hope that they can advance to the second round.

NBA 2K25 did a simulation of all of the playoff series and how they will play out. The result is something that Bucks fans will be happy about.

They predicted that the Bucks would win the series in seven games, despite the deficit they currently face in the series.

If that were to happen, the Bucks would have a lot of confidence in their ability to beat Cleveland in the next round, which will likely be the next opponent for either of these teams.

The Bucks feel that they can beat the Pacers on their home floor now that they have the fans on their side. Damian Lillard will likely be better than he was in Game 2, as that was the first time he had played a game in over a month.

In the simulation, 2K had the Bucks winning both of the games on their home floor in Game 3 and Game 4. That is a must if they want to win this series.

They might need Giannis Antetokounmpo to step his game up even another level, even though he has been excellent through the first two games of this series.

The Bucks have to adjust their transition defense if they want to have any shot of winning Game 3 on Friday night. That has been the biggest issue that they have face.

Turning the ball over less will also be a key point for Doc Rivers' team. Doing both of those things should yield Milwaukee's first win of the series.
