Milwaukee Bucks vs Houston Rockets Odds and Prediction: Game Preview

Milwaukee Bucks:

The Bucks are currently 4^th in the eastern conference standings with a 19-13 record. The Bucks won only 5 games out of their last 10 games. The Bucks have lost all the three games they played without Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks even without Giannis Antetokounmpo are a very good team on paper but that’s not converting into wins.

The Bucks at home are very good, they have won 10 out of their 15 games at home. The Bucks are the best rebounding team at home with 49.5 rebounds per game. The Bucks are the 4^th best defensive team at home. Can the Bucks deliver the same performance without Giannis on the floor? The Bucks without Giannis have struggled both offensively and defensively. In the last three games without Giannis on the floor, the Bucks are ranked 24^th on offense and 17^th on defense.

The Bucks still have a great overall roaster, and they will be looking to play to their potential and get the win at home on Wednesday.

Houston Rockets:

The Rockets are currently 14^th in the league with a 10-21 record. The Rockets are one of the young teams in the league. They initially struggled but then their young players showed everyone what they are capable of. They won 7 games in a row during this stretch. The Houston Rockets have enough talent and skill to beat any team in the league.

The Houston Rockets are the 2^nd worth team on the road, they have lost 14 out of their 17 games on the road. They are bottom ten in three-point shooting, in rebounding, and they are the worst team when it comes to turnovers on the road. They average 18.5 turnovers per game on the road.

The Houston Rockets do certainly have the potential and talent to win on the road, they have got most of their players back from Covid protocols and injuries. But going against the Bucks in Milwaukee will be a difficult matchup for the Rockets.
