Milwaukee Bucks vs Houston Rockets preview

The Bucks are on a four-game winning streak and have won six of their last 10 games. While they have been great at home with a 19-9 record, they are just 12-15 on the road, something that doesn’t bode well for Tuesday’s matchup.

Milwaukee is coming off a 120-113 win against the Miami Heat on Sunday. Damian Lillard led the team with 28 points and eight assists, while Giannis Antetokounmpo had a double-double of 23 points and 16 rebounds.

The Rockets were going strong until they went downhill a bit recently. They are just 3-7 over their previous 10 outings and have fallen all the way down to fifth in the standings from the second spot. They are 18-9 at home and could take advantage of supportive fans as Milwaukee has struggled on the road.

Houston last played on Saturday and lost 124-115 to the Utah Jazz. The team was led by double-doubles from Alperen Sengun (27 points and 12 rebounds) and Jalen Green (25 points and 10 assists).
