The Milwaukee Bucks have been in fine form as they've won six of their last eight games overall, and they will be gunning for a fifth straight victory after sneaking past the Heat in a 120-113 win on Sunday. Damian Lillard led the team with 28 points and eight assists, Giannis Antetokounmpo added 23 points with 16 rebounds and seven assists while Brook Lopez chipped in with 17 points. As a team, the Bucks shot 51 percent from the field and 14 of 39 from the 3-point line as they got off to a slow start and had to claw their way back from an early 14-point deficit. The Bucks found their groove and dominated the fourth quarter by 35-20 to run down the Heat with time to spare. The Bucks will take on the Nuggets and Mavs after this game.

Meanwhile, the Houston Rockets have been in a slump as they've lost eight of their last 11 games overall, and they will be hoping to bounce back here after getting beaten by the lowly Jazz in a 124-115 road defeat on Saturday. Alperen Sengun led the team with 27 points, 12 rebounds, and seven assists, Jalen Green added 25 points with 10 assists while Amen Thompson chipped in with 22 points and nine rebounds. As a team, the Rockets shot 44 percent from the field and 17 of 43 from the 3-point line as they looked to be in control when they poured in 34 points in the second quarter to take the early lead. However, they allowed the Jazz to hang around, and it cost them in the fourth quarter, where the Jazz exploded for 37 points to snatch the game away. The Rockets will play against the Spurs following this one.

Why the Houston Rockets will win

• The Bucks have lost each of their last nine games as underdogs when playing with a rest disadvantage.
• The home team has won each of the last six games between the Bucks and Rockets.
• The Bucks have failed to cover the spread in each of their last eight games as road underdogs when playing with a rest disadvantage.
• The Rockets have covered the spread in eight of their last nine games as favorites after losing as favorites.

Why the Milwaukee Bucks will win

• The underdogs have won four of the last five games between the Bucks and Rockets at Toyota Center.
• The Rockets have lost three of their last four games as favorites against Eastern Conference opponents following a loss.
• The Rockets have failed to cover the spread in seven of their last eight games as favorites.
• The underdogs have covered the spread in each of the last five games between the Bucks and Rockets at Toyota Center.

The Bucks are still playing without Pat Connaughton, but they are expecting to have Gary Trent Jr back in the lineup. While the Rockets are keeping an eye on Fred VanVleet, Jae'Sean Tate, and Dillon Brooks, who are all questionable for this one. This is one of those games where you should check the lineups before tip-off given the injury cloud hanging over the Rockets. With that being said, the Bucks have just about their entire squad healthy, they have reeled off four straight wins and I think they keep their win streak going in this one. The Rockets open as slight favorites at home, but I think this is a good spot if you are looking for the Bucks to pull off the upset.
