Bucks vs. Pacers Game 6: Everything You Need to Know As Milwaukee Eyes Winner-Take-All Game 7

As the Milwaukee Bucks once again prepare for a matchup against the Indiana Pacers, the stakes sit even higher than they were for Game 5.

Yes, the Bucks got a win at home and forced a sixth contest, but now, they're in a must-win position in order to return to Fiserv Forum for a winner-take-all matchup in Game 7. And they're likely going to be without both Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Khris Middle, Bobby Portis Jr. and Patrick Beverley have played large roles in the absence of their star teammates, but the Bucks' path doesn't get easier as they look to scrape together another win to extend their season.

So, with that in mind, here's what you need to know ahead of Thursday's tip:

Damian Lillard - DOUBTFUL
Giannis Antetokounmpo - DOUBTFUL
Khris Middleton - PROBABLE
Patrick Beverley - PROBABLE

Bennedict Mathurin - OUT
Tyrese Haliburton - QUESTIONABLE
