Both Cleveland and Indiana boast deep rosters that deliver in the clutch, which should make for a competitive semifinals clash.

The Pacers, who made the Eastern Conference finals a season ago, are led by Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam. Siakam (20.2 points per game) was an All-Star in 2025, while Haliburton got better as the season progressed. He averaged 20.6 points and 11 assists per game after the All-Star break.

The Pacers can put the Bucks in the rearview mirror and turn their attention to a team that will require all of it: the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers

Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers stole one from the Milwaukee Bucks. Indiana forced two turnovers in the final 29 seconds of overtime, and Haliburton blew past Giannis Antetokounmpo for the go-ahead layup with 1.
