Houston Rockets vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
The Rockets are still missing Dorian Finney-Smith and Fred VanVleet, while the Bucks have ruled out Kevin Porter Jr and Taurean Prince again. The Bucks are coming into this one fresh off a nice win over the Bulls, but the Rockets are one of the hottest teams in the league right now, so I’m not surprised to see them as favorites here. The Bucks are certainly capable of pulling off the upset at home, but the Rockets were rolling before their last defeat, and I think they get back in the win column in this spot.
