Bucks & Rockets Lines History

The Milwaukee Bucks, winners of six of their last seven games, will attempt to maintain that winning rhythm and will seek to notch back-to-back victories while padding their lead in the Central standings as they get ready to resume competition with a huge showdown against the equally hot Houston Rockets. The two inter-conference antagonists are scheduled to square off in a contest set to be broadcasted by the ESPN network Wednesday night at 8:00 p.m. ET and live from the Toyota Center in Houston, TX.

The Rockets have controlled the rivalry lately by sweeping the two-game series last season and losing only twice in their last ten confrontations against the Bucks. Plus, the Bucks have lost five straight to the Rockets in Houston and won only twice in the last eighteen games played in Texas. The Rockets have claimed 12 of their last 14 contests and have gone 11-3-1 ATS during that stretch. They enter this affair as a 1½-point home underdog, thanks to Bovada Sportsbook, with the total sitting at 226 points.
