Andre Jackson
G/SF MIL
Wed 5/1/24 1:38 AM

Jackson chipped in zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one assist across seven minutes during Tuesday's 115-92 win over the Pacers in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson played limited minutes off the bench as the Bucks took care of business in front of a vocal home crowd. Strictly used as a depth piece, Jackson is not someone we should expect to see on the court for any significant amount of time moving forward.

Bobby Portis
PF/C MIL
Wed 5/1/24 1:37 AM

Portis racked up 29 points (14-24 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 39 minutes during Tuesday's 115-92 victory over the Pacers in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
Portis atoned for his ejection in Game 4, leading the Bucks to an emphatic victory. He led all scorers with 29 points, having his way on the interior against a Pacers team that looked totally out-enthused. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) still on the sideline, Portis has been the primary beneficiary. Milwaukee will need for him to replicate this performance should they hope to force a Game 7.

DTDPatrick Beverley
G MIL
Wed 5/1/24 1:34 AM

Beverley accumulated 13 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, 12 assists, one block and two steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 115-92 win over Indiana in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
Beverley turned back the clock in the victory, racking up his first double-double of the season. With Damian Lillard (Achilles) sidelined, Beverley has stepped into a much larger role than anticipated. If the Bucks are to force a Game 7, he will need to once again be at the height of his powers.

T.J. McConnell
PG IND
Wed 5/1/24 1:33 AM

McConnell logged six points (3-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 115-92 loss to the Bucks in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
McConnell failed to have a significant impact in the loss, continuing his underwhelming series. The Pacers were never really in this one, falling behind early and giving the Bucks some much-needed momentum. Game 6 is in Indiana on Thursday, providing the Pacers with another opportunity to advance to the second round.

Jarace Walker
PF/C IND
Wed 5/1/24 1:31 AM

Walker notched one assist over five minutes during Tuesday's 115-92 loss to Milwaukee in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
Walker played a handful of minutes as the Pacers were blown out by the Bucks in Game 5 of their playoff series. Despite flashes throughout the season, Walker has basically been an afterthought when it comes to meaningful minutes. The two teams will line up again Thursday, as the Pacers try to wrap things up on their home court.

Aaron Nesmith
SG/F IND
Wed 5/1/24 1:29 AM

Nesmith registered seven points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 115-92 loss to the Bucks in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
Nesmith salvaged a rough shooting night with modest across-the-board production. Despite playing a significant role, he has been unable to rediscover his form from earlier in the season. While the loss was far from ideal, the Pacers will now head home for Game 6, where they will attempt to wrap up the series.

DTDGary Harris
SG/SF ORL
Tue 4/30/24 10:14 PM

Harris is out for the remainder of Tuesday's game versus the Cavaliers due to a right hamstring strain, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports. He will end the contest with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and two blocks in 19 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
In Harris' absence, Markell Fultz, Cole Anthony and Anthony Black are all candidates to receive increased playing time. Harris' next chance to suit up is Game 6 on Friday.

DTDTyrese Haliburton
G IND
Tue 4/30/24 8:33 PM

Haliburton (back) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Haliburton has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with back spasms. There is no indication that the star guard will operate on a minutes restriction.

DTDKhris Middleton
SG/SF MIL
Tue 4/30/24 7:50 PM

Middleton (ankle) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 agains the Pacers, Jeremiah Johnson of Bally Sports Indiana reports.
EDGE Analysis
Middleton has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with a right ankle sprain. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Damian Lillard (Achilles) out, Middleton will likely continue to be the focal point of Milwaukee's offense.

DTDPatrick Beverley
G MIL
Tue 4/30/24 7:47 PM

Beverley (oblique) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 versus the Pacers, Jeremiah Johnson of Bally Sports Indiana reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beverley was previously carrying a probable tag, so the Bucks will be relieved to see him power through his minor setback. Beverley will continue to see an expanded role with both Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Damian Lillard (Achilles) ruled out.
