Houston Rockets at Milwaukee Bucks Prediction

Though Milwaukee has had some troubles as of late, let’s not forget this is a team that beat San Antonio on the road in the AT&T Center as a ten-point pup. This is also a team that owns a win over Cleveland this season and took Golden State the distance in their most recent encounter. Milwaukee has a knack for playing great teams tough and that is why the market is priced as we see it here even with their recent skid. Houston given their entire performance portfolio has some grisly road losses this season. The most notable and recent occurrence being at Minnesota were the Timberwolves orchestrated the upset. Milwaukee has some guns in their arsenal. Most notably, “The Greek Freak” Giannis Antetkuonmpo who is virtually a consensus all-star across ballots. When Giannis gets going he is difficult to stop and the Rockets don’t have any defensive weapons to curtail this beast presenting us with a quality fade situation backing a Milwaukee team who has been tough at home all season long.
