Good news is the starters didn't play much in the blowout win against Seattle Tuesday. TJ Ford bruised his back against Seattle and is Day to Day. We need to take this one from Indy, they are hurt, and it could be huge in a tiebreaker scenario. This is a big game...I think we take it Bucks 98 Pacers 96
