Milwaukee Bucks fans don’t want to miss Game 2 of the team’s NBA playoff series against the Indiana Pacers on April 22.
The Bucks will look to even the series after losing Game 1 on April 19. And the Bucks are getting Damian Lillard back.
Lillard will play his first game in over a month after being out with blood clots in his right calf.
But if you’re tuning into NBA TV via streaming or through the NBA’s League Pass to see Lillard’s return and don’t have FanDuel Wisconsin you could encounter a local blackout.
Here’s what you need to know about how to watch Game 2 of the Bucks-Pacers playoff series.
