You can bet the Bucks vs. Rockets game online with the Rockets coming in as a +1.5 home dog.
Against Denver, the Rockets showcased their offensive versatility while guard James Harden further gathered belief that he can rely on his teammates when teams go to the extreme in an attempt to thwart his influence.
"Everybody got their confidence and got it going, but it's been like that," Harden said after his 32 points and 14 assists helped snap the Nuggets' five-game winning streak. "We've just got to continue to keep that confidence and keep shooting our shot and, defensively, getting after it.
"These guys are stepping up big time for us and we're going to need that. It feels like every single game I see a double team or two on the ball mostly every possession. And so, I've got to figure out ways to impact the game, figure out ways to not only score but get guys involved."
Milwaukee is one of three teams to rank in the top 10 in offensive (113.5 points per 100 possessions) and defensive (104.3) efficiency, and the only team in the top five in both.
The Bucks altered their defensive strategy for stretches in defeating the Utah Jazz 114-102 on Monday, switching positions 1-4 more than usual in an attempt to keep the Jazz off balance.
The home team has won six of the last seven in this series. Houston is 8-2 in the last ten meetings.
The Rockets are 6-0 Against The Spread in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
