In a battle between two of the worst teams in the association, the game was somewhat close early, with Indiana leading 64-52 at the break.
But in the second half, the Pacers outscored Washington 55-34, including a sizeable 25-13 advantage in the final frame.
Alex Sarr scored a team-high 24 points and collected nine rebounds. Khris Middleton added 12 points, six rebounds, and six assists, while CJ McCollum and Bilal Coulibaly contributed 11 points each.
The Bucks ended a seven-game skid by defeating the Brooklyn Nets 116-99 on Saturday.
Brooklyn kept it close early, trailing by a slim 32-29 margin after the first quarter. But Milwaukee seized control of the game with a 39-24 outburst in the second quarter.
The Bucks increased their lead to as many as 32 points (92-60) late in the third quarter on their way to an easy double-digit victory.
Giannis Antetokounmpo was the team's top performer. His final stat line included 29 points, eight rebounds, and two assists on 12-for-15 shooting from the floor.
Here's a look at what you need to know for both teams ahead of this contest.
Neither team is playing great basketball right now. However, the Bucks have won four straight in this series and have defeated the Wizards 17 times in the previous 20 head-to-head matchups. With that in mind, Milwaukee gets the nod here.
